tribute to mama…

…on a

sunday

mother’s day

this is a portrait - of my beautiful mama - at the tender age of - only 16 if you can believe it - it was her high school - photo taken by a chicago - photographer her school utilized - at the time - and back in those days - things were done in a - much more formal way - than they tend to be now - i’m truly glad for that - since we have a record - of just how lovely she was - how she carried herself - and how not only her outer beauty - shone but her inner beauty - was also very much reflected

on this mama’s day - we’re celebrating here in the states - i simply wanted to - take a moment to pay tribute - to my own who is still - going strong at 90 - and even though her physical body - is betraying her now in many ways - she continues to be a fighter - on so many levels - demonstrating to her children - how to live fully without complaint - facing each day to do our best - she has lived - a life filled with strength - grace and courage - her generosity of spirit radiates - throughout every aspect of her life - and regardless of the various trials - and challenges she has continually faced - that has never dimmed - i can only hope and pray - that abba allows me the strength - of spirit to emulate how my mama - has lived her life - knowing each step - we take in that strength - will always lead us towards…

a

happy day…..
