Where did the years go?

With it soon being Mother’s Day I thought it an especially good time to share this photo. Having lost my mom to cancer when I was only 16 years old Alberta Brady, mother of seven and a house full of boarders, became my second mom. I was lucky enough to marry her son when I turned 20. I’ve been calling her mom for so long that sometimes my husband has been caught saying things like “Did you call your mom about the weekend?”.  ‘Mom’ is captured here gazing out her window unaware that I was taking her picture. She has always loved being outdoors working in a garden but unable to do that anymore. “Where did the years go?” may have been on her mind. She is 95 years young! I can only imagine the lifetime of changes someone her age has seen. Happy Mother’s Day ‘Mom’!
