My Mom’s Birthday, 2017

Today is my mom’s birthday. That’s her in the picture above, a lifetime and more ago. My lifetime anyway.

I think I’ve mentioned before that among my many mental quirks is that when I picture someone mentally it’s always as they were when I first met them. Well, that’s very much what my mom looked like when I first met her and that’s very much as I always imagine her. It’s how I imagined her even towards the end when she was an old lady, barely able to walk.

I can still see her when I look at my siblings.

    Looks like an ad for Iowa corn. Previous commenters have it right.
