"I am living the life of a widow."

That's what Elena, the sister of my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana, wrote on the back of this photo:


Russian Soviet Socialist Republic, 1963. Elena adds, "To my own, dear Tatjana, as a keepsake. I wish you, your children, and your grandchildren good health, tranquility, long years of life."

Thanks again to my friend, D, for translating the text from Russian to English.
