A Smile to remember…

In 1949 my mother was stricken with polio and was separated from her family in Orono Maine to be treated at the Hyde Home in Bath. Along with this photo I found a note her mother had written on a small piece of paper. It said, “A smile that kept me company while Mary was at Hyde Home.” I wanted to keep that heartfelt note in some way linked to the photo that was so beloved by my Grandmother. I used Photoshop to place a scan of the writing at the bottom of the photo. I love how it came out. Small touches like this can take a linked memory with a photo and make it complete.
