It’s been 20 years since mom passed away. I miss her every day — even after 20 years. I hate that she never met my kiddos, but know she would have adored them. I’ve thought many times how tough our COVID reality would have been for her… not seeing the grandkids … not gathering for holidays … not hugging … not taking family pictures …

I’m lucky. I have albums full of family pictures that she compiled. I went down that rabbit hole last night and found this shot — I’m guessing it’s from 1978 — and it made me smile.
