My parents married in 1939 just after the war started..and I have no photos of them on the day, I came along in 1942 and my mother died when I was two, he was in the army so I was taken by my grand mother and I saw very little of him as he remarried. I do however have some of them both with me and they are so precious, those photos.<BR/>How wonderful that you still have your Mum.<BR/>Chris xChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332613086771922320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704445539832223114.post-33605054040320856522009-02-05T11:20:00.000+00:002009-02-05T11:20:00.000+00:00What a beautiful story.

Just be glad if your home was still standing, but more importantly that your loved ones kept safe and that the men folk came home.<BR/>We wouldn't wish this to happen again, but life is missing some very important things these days.

DOn't they look so young and very happy. <BR/><BR/>Hard to believe what hardships they lived through and there was no bitterness for the things they didn't have. They were a fantastic generation. <BR/><BR/>My Mam & Dad were married during the war too, Dad was in the Royal Navy. He was a Geordie too. We live a little bit further down in what used to be part of County Durham. Where was your Dad from?Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.com
