It’s the sunshine in Lanzarote. It’s refreshing the mind.

It should actually be one of the happiest and proudest days of her life: Her incredibly talented son is received as a hero in his old hometown. A triumphant return for the Presley family, once considered "white trash"... But in fact, like on so many pictures from that time, she looks desperately unhappy, exhausted and very sickly...

Nah, don't be so negative.

Here's another photo from the same day, taken maybe minutes earlier or later :

Maybe I just forgot to "always look on the bright side of life". ;) But yeah, I totally forgot about that picture! I have to admit that when I saw it for the first time, it actually really surprised me. If one consider the pictures that are repeatedly shown in the media in connection with Gladys, maybe I was bound to get the apparently wrong impression that such happy moments were the exception rather than the rule...
