Holding Hands

Suburban Chicago, January 1, 1965. I should have posted this photo on New Year's Day because it's a holiday-sensitive snapshot. When I ran across it today, however, I decided to post it because of the way in which the subjects—my paternal Grandmother, my Mom, my Mom's best friend Donna, and Donna's husband Vytenis—are touching one another. Tatjana's grasp of my Mom's hand especially is sweet.

Mom's wearing the dress that I later took as my own, and Donna's dress has the illusion neckline that I found so elegant.
