Today would have been my Mom’s 79th birthday. I miss her every single day. But reminders of her appear daily and my Dad gave a special one to me recently. He found her old sketchbook, one that she used long before I was around. She was very talented but it was definitely a hidden talent as she didn’t draw often. As a kid, I remember asking her to draw and she was very good at faces and of course dresses for paper dolls. The first sketch in the book is this collection of vases. I spent a morning recreating her drawing for today’s post and had to include her original (shown on the right). It’s special for me to see them side by side. Happy Birthday Mom.
