Those who know me are familiar with my disdain for greeting card holidays. Even the woman who lobbied for the creation of Mother’s Day regretted the results and tried to undo it. To paraphrase Tom Lehrer, should we be thankful that Mother’s Day doesn’t last all year? So, my post today is happenstance, a work ready for publication, twenty years after my mother died. The slide of my mother was taken by my father, perhaps on their honeymoon. I ungummed an old slide viewer, searched the internet for a tiny replacement bulb that had a tiny screw-in base, photographed the image and added the verse.
