Beautifully done!!! It looks like it belongs in a big shadowbox, it's so pretty!! I'm sure she'll be thrilled at your excellent skills and over the thought of it!! Can I ask what she was doing in Germany in the 60's & 70's? Only because DH was there in the Air Force in the 1960's. He met a woman and they had a son (who came to see us 5 years ago). Hope she enjoys this work of art! Well done!! She was born and grew up in Germany, she met my dad (he was in the service there) in 1976 when she was in her early 20s - they moved here after I was born. How cool that you got to meet your husband's son! I have a friend who was just telling me about there being so many service members' kids over there who are about our age (30-50ish). There was even a reunion show on TV about it over there (my friend participated in the show and found her half sisters.)

DH stayed with his German gf until the baby was 6 Mos old & then he was coming home. She wanted to stay there. She told her son that his dad died in the war, but when he was signing up for the military he found his dad's name!! They spoke & lost touch for years, but I found him on social media, and he flew here!! The 2 of them are like twins!! We talk to him often now! Your mom's situation was years after DH left Germany. I guess it happens more than we know + DHs gf tricked him into getting pregnant by saying she already was... And then she did get pregnant 1 MO later. DH was only 19 & inexperienced...
