Friday is my mom’s birthday. She died last May, so this will be her first birthday since then. I’ve included two pictures of her with this post. My dad had collected some photos of her, for her memorial services. I scanned these two then. Chris, my brother, took them. The first one is a portrait. Chris had taken several in this vein. This one wasn’t her favorite, but it is still pretty good. The second one is older, some twenty-plus years old. That is Dave in Anne’s arms, so many of you can do the math. The scene is the kitchen in Texas. It is either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Mom looks happy. This is how I like to remember her. Happy Birthday Mom!
