Our relationship lasted for 31 years, She died aged 71 from a brain tumour, it hit me really hard, maybe harder than it should have but there were reasons, reasons I could never tell anyone, being a photographer I did do some pics of mum at her request, I got permission from my bosses to use the studios one Sunday, I think they are the best I have ever taken and she enjoyed flaunting her nakedness in front of me, and teasing me at the same time, did a few standard pics too and boy did we have fun! I usually did portraits family pics and weddings.
I am happy with my life, I adore my wife and kids, but on the rare occasions I look at these pics I wish I had a time machine, I still have the camper too, she left that exclusively to me, the rest was split between the three of us but I’m the only one who lives in the family home now with my family.
I have a couple of pics of her on my wall at home in a blue bikini, I always get asked, that’s not your wife who is she? And when I say my mother aged 38/39 their jaws usually hit the ground! She was after all astonishingly beautiful and youthful for her age.
My story is perhaps longer than some but much shorter than the first 2 drafts.
