I just found this photograph of my mother, who died when I was twenty after years of battling a terminal illness.
She's responsible for most of who I am.
I miss her sometimes.

I imagine you find great solace in having such an amazing picture of her.

She looks a little bit like you would if you were wearing lipstick and hanging around some flowers.
In other words, lovely.

What a lovely picture.
Having lost my Mom earlier this year, it's hard to look at certain pictures without a lot of emotional pain. Even so, I know the day will come when the good memories again come to the fore. Even so, I know that I, like you, will always miss her.

Pardon my poor writing...I should proof for duplicate phrases before hitting "submit". Anyhow, I hope the picture brings you some comfort.

What a beautiful picture.
And you know, as a mom, I have to say, "she's responsible for most of who I am" is one amazing epitaph.

Gorgeous photo.
You look like her.
Still miss my mom, after 28 years.

...she really looks like you. Or you look like her. Or something.
Obviously, no one has ever told you this before.
