Today would have been my mother’s 90th birthday. This image is from the booklet of my 2nd album, which I dedicated to her. I miss her so much, & am so grateful to still have my uncle Linn (whom I’ll be visiting tomorrow in Chicago) & my aunt Connie who visited me in Cornwall the year she turned 90.
