A Day In The Life

Mother’s day is upon us once again, and this week’s challenge pays tribute to her. Always a day with mixed emotions for me, as my relationship with my mother was less than perfect. You can read about it here.

As an adult I was better able to understand how she may have come to be the person she was, based on who her mother was. My grandmother in my eyes was a wonderful person, as most grandmothers are, but she too came with her own set of complexities. Here are some photos of the mothers in my family through the generations.
