Strong image of your mother's hands caressed by your care + the newly pressed blouse (appropriately cloud white). Be well. Brian

What a beautiful and tender picture of the love between mother and daughter, Sara. It reminds me of the picture in Psalm 131 - "like a weaned child." Congratulations on your win! Sending you a bounty of "frilly" "white" blessings!

Jack, It is probably very emotional to see him in your features and maybe growing more like him as you remember him as you get older. Thanks for the visit. Sara

Andrea, Yes, I believe you commented on both. Thanks for the visit here again. Sara

oh wow, that is deep,Sara. Great thinking. Did'n't you get this one in on time for the contest. I don't remember it on the list, and it sure looks like one that belonged there (in reply to your question: I just don't think these hands look like those of a younger person.)

Andrea, I thought about entering this one but there were a number about this picture so I chose to go with the purple flower. Thanks for dropping by. Yes, I was just kidding about the hands belonging to a young person for one can usually tell the hands of an older person especially one over 70..Thanks for dropping by. Sara
