June 20: To Tony From Kitty

This one was crumpled and torn, I honestly wasn't sure who it was or when it was taken. Was this at a train station where a really confident young woman was waiting? Her smile seems to say, "I know what I am doing!" 

I love her dress which suggests a late 1920's time frame (I think). I stared at the photo, like several I uncovered this week, and realized the love letter on the back told me this photo was a "selfie" type photo from a young women, smitten with a young man. She likely had someone take it for her in order to give it to her beau, Tony!  

I am enthralled by her choice of the word "from," perhaps because the word "love" had yet to be uttered in describing their relationship! 

Kitty lived and worked in Brooklyn and He lived in the far-away borough of the Bronx! In time they would marry and become parents of three; she would become my other mother.

The look of young love

Eager, hopeful, excited

Has not changed a bit
