I Call her Mom


 
I have started this book over and over and then deleted it. I didn't know how to go about writing a book about my mother. She already wrote a lovely book that is full of stories. I love that book. I've read it many times and can quote some of the stories. But it is was missing some of my favorite pictures of my mom. Of course being born during the depression and then being relatively poor during her child hood and early mother hood there aren't many photos of her. Then of course when she became the mom she was behind the camera. So I took almost every photo I have of her as a child and young mother and put them in this book. It was hard to tell her stories, but the photos begged for their stories to be told.  "Photos without stories are memories lost."
