Pretty In Pink

Today is my mother's first birthday in heaven. She would have been 84 years old if she were still here.

I'm sure she's having a big time with all the rest of the good ones who are now gone, and she's probably thrilled that she finally got God to come to one of her parties!

This photo was taken at a family friend's house in Wurtsboro Hills, New York. The year was 1980. She was 38 years old. My mother had that scoop-neck t-shirt in every color, and she looked stunning in each one.  

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

You are loved and missed.
