Our Mom Turned 70 And My Brother And I Decided To Recreate Our Hilarious Childhood Photos For Her Birthday

ADVERTISEMENT

COVID-19 has everyone locked down and sad. My mom turned 70 this past July and before the virus came along, we had a plan to go on a big family trip together to celebrate her. Obviously, that was not to be, so my brother and I decided to honor her in the only way we knew how—with ourselves.

Our mom was the kind of mom who would take us to Sears for a formal portrait every year. She would probably still do this if we all lived in the same place. Many of you may recognize some of the background settings of the more studio-like of the portraits: fake Xmas tree, weird beige “blanket,” and, my personal favorite, floating baby head.

My brother and I had an excellent time recreating these photos, and we hope they will bring a smile to someone’s face.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.

I love photorecreations like these. It shows humor and in this case, love for the family, being a present for their mother. Beautiful!

OMG, so cute. The brother looks SO MUCH like my brother, and the age difference is about the same. (He was 11 years older.) He died very suddenly three years ago, leaving two special needs young adult sons. I have zero pictures of me and him. I don't get choked up too often, but this one got to me. I bet their family LOVED this. I hope they cherish these forever.

I (as a 77-year-old mommy) can promise you - there is NO GIFT, of ANY kind, that your mother would have loved more. She "did it right".

What a lovely thing to do for their mum, it probably feels like no time has passed at all for mum.
