I don't have many pictures of my mother and I by ourselves.
This is one of the rare ones taken outside of her sister's home in Pasadena, Texas.
I was three.
My mom had a hard life. She was number 8 of 13 children.
Her father was a barber, but also drank too much.
Her mother, Josie, took care of her children and her home.
My mother and my father were married when she was just 16.
They had 4 children, but for many years there was just us three girls.
I was the middle child.
I was the middle child.
My little brother came 10 years after my little sister.
My mother is a strong woman.
I only hope to have as much strength as she has had to have in her life.
My Mom, =) and my daughter, Melanie =)
I love you Mom!
I love you both!
Happy Mother's Day!

Diane,
What a beautiful picture of the three of you...you are all three just lovely... and what a tender tribute to your mom. Our mother stories are really important and poignant, aren't they? I am really touched by them.
Thank you for your kind, kind comments on my blog. It was both healing and painful to write and I so appreciated the depth of your comments. I thought my heart dropped out when I lost my mom but life did get better again and that gives me hope.
You are such an incredible woman, Diane. Someday I am going to meet you in person!
Sending a big hug,
Suz

I so enjoyed hearing more about your special Mom. The few pictures you do have are just precious. I love the one with all of the girls in their pink dresses! And the one of the 3 generations is such a keepsake.
