After 3 attempts to post this pic of me and my mom, and losing it each time, I've decided to keep it simple.
Not often does my mom smile. I caught one in a selfie. It was taken the day she was moved to a nursing home. I'll forever remember this smile.

I don't know why it came out that way. It isn't that way in my gallery of pictures.

@ElusiveButterfly I'm 76, and I just got the impression that you were in your 50s from your posts.

I do cherish it Jeff. She usually never smiles when she is in a picture with me.

@ElusiveButterfly I'm glad you cherish it! My father passed away last night, and I realized this morning that the last photo I have of the two of us was at my wedding 20 years ago. We saw each other all the time, but just never thought to take pictures.

It's a rare moment where she smiled in a photo with me!

My mom didn't like the picture. My sister told her it was great.

@ElusiveButterfly my grandmother is kind of the same. She doesn't really like pictures of herself, even though she looks great. Your mom looks great in this one.

Oh that is lovely. I could never get my Mom to smile or have a photo taken hardly ever and even then she would not smile and she was pretty too. Nice post lovely.

What a beautiful picture of mom and daughter. You both have great smiles. My mom passed away two years ago and I miss her so much. There is always that special bond that mom and daughters have. I don't have very many pictures of me with my mom. I wish I had taken more. This is a real treasure for you to have and such a great picture.
