A small post, but the words speak volumes, I could visualize the sun shining through on your mothers hair.

It made me recall the days before cordless phones, when one was bound to one single spot for daily conversations with relatives and friends.

My mothers 3 o’clock phone call to my godmother, she sat in the corner of the kitchen, and I would sit on the floor with my head in her lap, listening to the OMG of my Aunt Jean on the other end, as they would share their daily stories.

My mother would brush & comb my hair with her fingers, I can hear the laughter from the sisters in my mind as I type.

Thank you brightfeather. When I set out that morning to take photos I really had no idea where it would lead. It was a memorable one. This is one of the things I like most about the creative process.

I loved your poem about your bright day with your mom. It made me feel warm and happy when I read it.

@Jennifer
I’m so glad you stopped in. It’s such a busy time of the year and having a litle one keeps you hopping I’m sure. I’m so glad you have that one memory of your grandmother. The good ones are worth treasuring. I don’t deliberately push the bad memories away (elephant in the room) but I do deliberately replace them with good ones. Wishing you well always. :)
