14 years

During her last few years mum got into photography a bit. This was the last photograph she ever took of me. It was taken in the spring of 2000, somewhere near Carmel, California.

The other photo I think was taken in 1976!

On this day 14 years ago I was flying back home from Texas.

It was her last day.

She gave me a book that year and this is one of the quotes. Now I have a daughter it means even more.

Whatever happens - fire or flood or cold, travel or trouble or just growing old - our lives are stitched together by a thread of gold that cannot change, whatever changes come, you are my lass forever.
