My Parents When They Were Dating


I love this picture of my parents, taken in the fall of 1957 when they were dating. It was taken by his roommate. You can see the rain on the window. They are having coffee and pulla (a sweet, coffee loaf, common in Finland).
My Dad was so handsome and had a cool haircut. My Mom was so pretty. You can see the love in their eyes. We don't have many pictures of my Dad, since he didn't like to be photographed. He died when I was three (he was only 28). This is a snapshot of a happy moment in their lives.
