A beautiful lady

Thursday, December 24th, 2009


Most of us had idealized ideas about our parents as children; my father was the strongest man in the world, my mother was the most beautiful lady. I had forgotten just how beautiful she was until I came upon this old photo. She’s wearing amazing shoes in the photo and a classy navy blue dress, but what really struck me was her face. She really is a beautiful lady, she was alluring and lovely; like a movie star. I remember the reactions of men around her when I was just a little kid, and now I can see why. Happy birthday Wishes to my lovely mother!
