U Raise Me Up

This layout was supposed to be for the 13Arts Challenge. Then again, I was distracted by other things so the last minute became no minutes at all. Still I decided to complete it even though it is not exactly how I want it to be.
When my cousin tag me this photo, I was really very, very happy. For years I have trying to get some of the old family photos from another cousin but to no avail. At least I still have this photo to work on. This is a photo of our grandma holding her only surviving son (my cousin's father). To her left is my ever beautiful mother and to her right my two aunts. Judging from the date on the photo, my mum was 12 years 9 months old. Look how pretty and ladylike she was. She still is being ever so well dressed and hair properly coiffed despite her ailing condition.
It is really so nice to have a photo of my grandma to work on. This is art of a heritage album that my daughter, Zahra' has been asking me to do. In the photos are my Grandma (Hajjah Che Noh), my mum (Sity Khatijah), My aunts (Zaleha and Hamidah - the smaller one) and my only uncle (Haji Baba @Salleh).
The title of the layout is from a song You Raise Me up. Yes, all five of them raised me up to be what I am today. I really love you all. May Allah bless you always.
