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.

    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.

    And you know, as a mom, I have to say, “she’s responsible for most of who I am” is one amazing epitaph.

    …she really looks like you. Or you look like her. Or something.

    Obviously, no one has ever told you this before.
