Two years ago today my mother died. In the photo above, my mother is the toddler on the right. She was the daughter of a coal miner and grew up in a family with six other children. She went to art school and then joined the Marines in World War II. She met my father after the war.
Mom was truly gifted as an artist, but she also had an indomitable spirit and a heart filled with compassion.
I miss her, but I can't help but believe that she's still busy painting, giving out good advice, or delivering food to some poor soul somewhere.

Hi Mom! I love you! Great post!!! Grandma was THE BEST. She's probably teaching folks to paint clouds :)
Or maybe rainbows. :^)
My father died 3 years ago, not on this day... but condolences.
