happy mother's day!



 I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me.
They have clung to me all my life.

Lara, the little girl in the first picture with your mom...I totally thought it was Matilda. It wasn't until I scrolled through the pictures a second time and realized, duh, that was 1980!! Is that girl you? If so, Matilda is just a spitting image of her beautiful mommy!
