Amazing Women & Mothers
Today is International Woman's Day
http://www.internationalwomensday.com/ and Sunday is Mother's Day in Ireland and a lot of European Countries. I chose to post this photo of my parents on their Wedding Day in July 1958. My Dad's parents are next to my Mum and vice versa.
These three women were inspirational and I was so lucky to have both Grannies in my life though sadly my Dad's mum died when I was just 4. My Dad's mother ran her own business. My Mum's mother was Manager of a hotel and my Mum worked in Donegal Carpets. Both my grannies were earning when most mothers were full time housewives. It also is a tribute to the three Dads as they were ahead of their time too in rural Ireland by being supportive of their wives working outside the home.
