When my mom sent me this photo last week, I had to look twice.
No, this was not a picture of me holding Charlie…. It’s my mom in the early 80s with our friend Eric, who is now a father of two himself. Genetics are crazy, and so is the passage of time.
My friend Meghan posted some more amazing photos of my nearest and dearest from over 30 years ago.
You may recognize George in those there jorts. And look at that flowing hair!
Wasn’t my mom’s hair gorgeous? I’d love to have mine that long one day.
And she’s got the same sassy smile today.
Sometimes I need a reminder to step away from the salad bowl and preserve memories of people, and not just food.
