My Beautiful Mother

I think my mother was around 20 when this picture was taken. She was the second of four daughters. She was the adventurous one who would try anything. She loved people and always made people feel seen and welcomed. We had a complex relationship as many mothers and daughters do. As I’ve grown older I’ve come to see so many of her traits that are now a part of who I am. She modeled a warm and playful approach to life and showed how important loving is in making life rich and wonderful. I miss you Mom. Thanks for all you taught me.
