I received an envelope filled with childhood family photos from mom's cousin Wayne today. Some of the photos I've seen, but many I haven't. I noticed for the first time how much I looked like mom when I was little. There are also quite a few photos of mom's parents when they were younger, and some are quite funny. It is nice to see new photos.
I am especially happy that Wayne found me through this blog, and has kept in touch. It is so special to have photos from when mom was little, and it was very thoughtful for Wayne to share the photos with me.

Photos
I was just remembering how mom always liked to look at me, instead of the camera, when someone took our picture. We have a few wedding photos like this, which the photographer re-took. I have one from graduation at UC Davis, which John re-took. I always thought it was silly of her, but now I think differently.
A while back, I printed some pictures for an album of mom's life (which I haven't started). I made sure to print all the ones I could find from recent years of her looking at me instead of the camera. There were so many! Whatever the reason she did it, I cherish these pictures. She is always beaming in the pictures, and they are such a nice memento of her. It is like she is saying she is proud of me, still.
