My mom is almost 88. I don't take lightly the blessing it is to still go to her house, feel at "home," and gain from her wisdom. A privilege I realize others do not have. What a treasure she is to all of us, and how I wish I could be half the woman she is. Soft spoken, rarely a complaint, serving us all her life without a murmur. When I think back on her life, she is a prize among women. Happy Mother's Day Mom!

  1. Love that you pointed out her hair twist. Women back then were creative when it came to hair, weren't they? My mom *who's 80*, had her hair about the same length at her wedding to my dad *1947*...so pretty.

    I'm thinking you look like your mom. :)

  2. I came by here the other day...maybe in Google Reader and didn't leave a comment.

    That is a beautiful photo. .?Your dad is so handsome and your mother beautiful. Is that you, or is it your older sister, C?
