A week ago I brought in the Sunday paper (this was in Pocatello), looked at the front page, and said, “That’s my mom!”
She had told us that someone had interviewed her for the newspaper, so I shouldn’t have been surprised. The piece on the front page, was just a pointer to a big article in a human interest section.
It included a picture, taken by a New York Times photographer, of her when she was 30, my sister Sarah was an infant, my sister Helen when she was three, and me when I was five.
Here’s the full article, now that you’ve been stuck downloading it all:
I love it! And your mom looks so sweet! She seems to have a really great outlook.
What a lovely article on your mom. I always enjoy reading about her.
Her words about loss were a comfort to me today.
