MEMORIES of MOMMA*:

It was early 1983, and Momma looked beyond flawless. I imagine how happy she was at this stage of her pregnancy. She had had multiple miscarriages leading up to having me. I can't imagine how hard that must have been on both her and my Dad. And to this day, I don't know if they tried to have more children after I was born. Though I like to think they stopped at just having one kiddo since I was the perfect child. <wink> Maybe I'll recreate this photo one day... now that'd be something to strive for. :)

*It's Day 27 of my 71 day photo series in honor of my dear sweet Momma who passed away on 03.21.2016 after a harrowing 71 day health battle. Those 71 days do not define her. Oh no. What defines her — and me — are the incredible 66 years that she lived her life. I hope you enjoy these snapshots of the beautiful moments and memories of her life.
