nostalgia

I've spent a good part of today sorting through photos of our children in order to gather some together of our oldest daughter who is getting married in ten days. Looking back made me reflect on how she was such a cute and happy baby and that now she is a courageous and independent young woman. Also, I am reminded that being a mother remains the strongest and strangest influence in my own life and art. Motherhood has made me aware of our vulnerability and responsibility.
