RANDOM THOUGHTS ON VARIOUS SUBJECTS

Mom


March 13th marked 18 years since my mother died. I was 21 when she passed, but I had spent 3 years with relatives as a teenager. That means I've had 18 years with my mother, and 18 years without her. Frankly, I'd rather that she was alive and with me. She'd croon Amy Winehouse songs and campaign for Obama. And be completely flustered by the internet. I'm sure you have access to everything in Heaven.

She's beautiful! And looks just like you. What a lovely, natural photo.

Happy long weekend!

Marco's mom

I was going to say the exact same thing as Marco's mom

no harm saying it twice...

She is beautiful just like you. Sounds like you have much of her gusto too.

Oh wow, I knew your mom when She was older and when I saw this photo I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU! Unbelievable how alike the two of you are! WOW!
And 18 years! Wow.....Where does the time go? I remember that day... wow, 18 years!
Wow, I wish she were here to, especially if she would be for Obama! ;-))
I can't get over how much you look like her!

Incredible photo, A. For a moment I wondered whose birthday party you were at and who the children were...

Thanks for sharing your tribute to her...

I'm sure she gets a kick out of you, Alex, when she's snooping on you and Shelby and catching up on your blog. :) The resemblance is amazing.
