This is what a Mommy looks like

My own Momma, with Baby Wendy Rose, many years ago and with a smile that I absolutely treasure and miss.

I haven't seen this photo before -- my uncle Joe, my mom's brother sent it to me in an e-mail last night wishing me and my baby happy times like this one.

I think it's very possible, just judging from where I came from and all the laughter and smiles in my childhood.

I also have a photo of my mom when she was pregnant with me. She's standing near a fireplace in our old home, stomach protruding forward, arms at her side, a small smile on her face. I put a kiss on my fingers and plant that kiss on her every day.

We'll be different mothers for sure, but we'll both be Mommys.
