Here's a Gem

I was so orange and squishy and my mom was so young and with blue eyeshadow.

My step-grandma sent this to me in my birthday card this year. I've seen photos from when I was a baby but not this particular one. My mom still lives in that house, that window still looks out on the same tree, I've grown up, mom is still so full of life. Perhaps only the fashion has changed. :)

Mom, I love you. Thanks for giving birth to me and raising me with such compassion.
