The pictures above are two of my favorites of Mom. :) They were taken before I was born, but I've always liked them because I think they show her inner beauty, as well as her outer beauty, so I wanted to share them with you. Her name was Phylis, and she was a wonderful human being. Of course, I'm prejudiced, but you'll have to take my word on this. She was a beautiful soul, and she cared for everyone. The longer I live in this world, and the more I learn of other people, the more I realize how very lucky we were to have her for a mother. Never for a moment did I ever doubt I was loved. I always knew there was someone to love me. I feel privileged to have been her daughter. I only hope I can continue to make her proud of me.
