My Mother and Her Best Friend, 1945

My Mother and Her Best Friend, 1945
Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: A FAVORITE VINTAGE PORTRAIT, FORMAL OR INFORMAL
On the right: My mother, Hazel Gregory (later Lundbech), and on the left: Her best friend Jill Doe, (later McNair) home on leave from the WRENS. Taken at Jill's house in Thornton Heath, outside of London.
They both later emigrated to the States - my mother to Connecticut, and Jill to New Orleans.
I treasure this photo and have it framed.
I love the bond this shows, their youth, and their sweetness. They were 21.
Jill passed away several years ago. My mom is a healthy 97 and lives with us in Vermont.

Such a lovely photo for all the reasons you listed. This must have been close to the end of the fighting in Europe; good reason to be happy and hopeful. They are both so pretty. I'm impressed by their beautifully fit blouses, crisply pressed. I'm also happy to know your mom is doing well. Cheers.
