I know just what you mean, our mothers used to fight over who was going to

stand behind and who in front-- they were so harsh on themselves. I wish I had

been wise as I feel I sometimes am now so I could have said something to

comfort them when I was little and they were so anguishng about their weights.

They

were bueatiful round women, beautiful and big, both.

Regarding the picture of your dad and you rykell12. (I misl=olaced your name,

I am sorry, I know it is here somewhere, ...) Look through all your photos,

and pick one you like of you and one you like of your dad. Have a friend who

knows photoshop scan them together into one picture, adjust the backgrounds, and

you can have a montage of yourself with your dad. A picture of you together,

just sort of taken at two different times.

Someone gave me a vift of this with a picture of one of my beloved aunts. her

pic was 1940s black and white, and mine was faded out 'kodachrome' color from

the 50s. THey reshot the color one with a filter so it came up black and

white. All pix were close -ups with neutral backgrounds, soit was easy to put us

together with leaves and sky behind. I love having us in the same picture--as

we often were- it was just that no one had a camera then.

there are ways and there are ways, and sometimes the best pictures of all

arent photographs-- but memory, the pictures in your heart.

This comes with love,

ceep gmom
