Remembering My Mother...

Lois Johnson 1964 (striped jacket)

This time of year is always a rough time of year; I lost my Mother on New Years Eve of 2000.  However one of my Mother's oldest friends sent me a picture of them in 1964, my Mom was 16 years old.  It feels like I'm looking into a mirror I look so much like her.  This made my day and I know it will make the rest of this season all that much better.


I remember for almost two years after she went on I didn't look in the mirror because I wouldn't see myself I'd see only her.  I totally forgot about that until I saw this picture today.
