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.
