Time weathers us. Changes us. We forget or don’t realize how beautiful certain things were. How full of promise. We don’t realize the sacrifices some have made for our own sake.



My mom during the early 1960s.

A friend saw an old picture of my mom and said, “Wow, your mother looked like a movie star.” It got me to realize something. There wasn’t a spotlight shining or a star presented on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to praise her accomplishments but the woman who raised me was something more important than a star. She was a mother and that, unlike all the shine of tinsel town, has made her unforgettable.




My mom and I, present day.

 To all the women who have given us so much, happy Mother’s Day.
