I don't now when this picture was taken, but with the hairstyle and clothing, it must be in the 30's. I wish I could have spoken to my Mom before she passed on. It was just a matter of days before I was to come out.

My dearest friend, Barbara and sister Cecelia, was the last to see her. She wasn't very comfortable and it sounded like she was in a lot of pain. She didn't want to be touched. Their dog, Mickey, wanted to be near her. but being touched was just too painful. I was thankful that I spoke to her on Tuesday, her voice was shaky and she was a bit incoherent. I knew all was not well. I miss her alot and in a way I'm glad she is finally resting in peace.

I will be doing one for my father, soon.

Hope you enjoy them! Will have more to come.
