April 11, 2005Happy Birthday, Mom
April 11, 1918 - October 23, 1973 I still miss you. This is a picture of my Mom holding me shortly after my birth in 1950. The more weight I lose the more I look like her. And, that is comforting in its own way. She led a hard life - and we had our "times" when I was a teenager. But I always loved her and, even more, I always respected her. (Sadly, she may not have known that, but that is adult hindsight and wisdom speaking) Posted by Purplemoose at April 11, 2005 05:24 PMComments
Blessed be the day and the Mother and the daughter. -jj Posted by: liljif at April 11, 2005 10:13 PMVery nice post, Moosie. I look exactly like my mother, no matter how much I weigh. And our laughs are identical -- loud and hearty and audible all over the building! My grandmother died the day before my mother turned 13. I can't even begin to imagine.
