Happy Birthday, Mom

I shared this on Facebook today and figured I’d share it here as well since I haven’t posted anything in almost a year. Today Mom would have turned 90. I could have posted one of the many photos of her all dressed up out at a restaurant for her birthday, but I decided on this series from 2019. What I love about them is seeing her un-posed smile. She was always so self-conscious about her smile. She worried about having a “Cheshire cat grin”. I made her laugh right before taking the pictures so it was the relaxed Mom. I loved making her laugh, especially during the last years of her life when there wasn’t always much to laugh about. I miss that laugh and I miss her. Happy Birthday, Mom.
