Two brothers from Bucharest, Romania, Toma and Paul Alexandru, found a sweet and clever way to celebrate their mother’s 55th birthday. They took old childhood photos and recreated them, even working to duplicate gestures and clothing.
WNCN reported yesterday,
“Many of the original photos were taken in resorts where the family used to spend their summer holidays, so starting in early autumn, Toma, 29, and Paul, 26, traveled to those places on the weekends, finishing the project by Oct. 23, their mom’s birthday.”
Of course mom was touched by the effort, as reported by the brothers, one of whom reported,
“She was blown away and obviously cried, so we made sure the present would include a tissue box along with the photo album,” he said. “I don’t think she’s able to pick a favorite photo from the batch. She loved them all as they all have their set of memories associated with them.”
