When I was very young

One last Journal page for When We Were Young

This is a page from my late mothers album that I have taken care of. 
Her name was Marie and she had four kids. I was no two. 
I added the lady from Pinterest and wrote the text.

My late grandmother ended up here by mistake. But a good memory. Her name was Ingrid.
