Hole in the Clouds

Thelma and Reuben

Amidst all the screaming and snarking of the blogosphere is a website that's sweet and wonderful: MyParentsWereAwesome.com

Anybody can send in pictures of parents (or grandparents) from back in the day. I'm going to send in pictures of my parents, because they're still really awesome, and I expect all of you to do the same.

Here are three sets of parents from the site:
     Thelma and Reuben, looking at each other--submitted by Seth
     Jonathan and Virginia, seated--submitted by Rob
     Kathi and Kenney, with the guys in the band--submitted by Ryan

 

So Awesome

Apr 21, 2012

It's been a couple of years since our last glimpses (here and here) of some of the moms and dads who stay forever young when their children post their pictures at My Parents Were Awesome.

Above is Usawa, submitted by Chioke, and Kang, submitted by Michelle.

More Awesomer

These people are Jan and Kev, mother and father of someone named Nic, in a photo that Nic submitted to the website My Parents Were Awesome. We can see why he must have felt that the picture revealed, or at least hinted at, his parents' essential awesomeness, and we are proud to feature it here as another of our occasional glimpses of that site.
