Mom's Day
In sorting some photos recently, I came across this one taken on my 30th birthday. (That's been a few days ago...) I was thirty, my mom, forty-seven. Yep, she married my 20 year old dad when she was sixteen and had little ole me when she was seventeen. She used to say we grew up together.

What a beautiful portrait of both you and your Mom.
Happy Mother's Day!
I wish I had a picture of my mom and I when I was an adult but I don't. She died when she was 53. I was 23. Seems like yesterday sometimes. Mother's day is a bittersweet day.
You both are such beautiful women. I know that she is smiling down at you thinking too what a wonderful mother you are. Lots of Hugs to a fabulous mom that inspires me so!
I know you must treasure this absolutely wonderful photo of you and your mom! I hope you had a wonderful day filled with precious memories of days gone by and a celebration of today and the years to come.
What a wonderful idea to do a portrait like that. My mom died young too, age 58.
that is such a lovely photo. May your mother rest in peace. Hugs to you.
I'm sniffling as I write this - very lovely. Both photo and sentiment
