Missing Mom

I love this picture of my mom as a young woman -

 how pretty she was and the details of her dress and shoes.

I just heard the news of my dear friend's mother's death,

and I couldn't help but think back to my own mom's death

right around this time four years ago.

Sending loving thoughts to my friend Lorna and her family,

and remembering my own sweet mom with love and great affection.
