The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
TO MY MOTHER |
My little baby lies along my arm, |
And, looking at her there, the glad tears press, |
And, like a tidalwave of tenderness, |
The years of love since I lay cradled so — |
Unfathomed love enfolding me from harm — |
Return and flood my life. For now I know. |

Note: This was a group of photographs I framed for my oldest daughter as a Christmas present - to show her place in history. Oh yes, and to remind her she's the end of the line, hence endNote.

Wow, fM. Your family is movie-star beautiful! You have a terrific set of photographs there! There's nothing like the love between mother and child is there?
Very cool to have four generations of mother and daughter photographs. Something not many people have. Your daughter is a lucky gal to have such a talented mother! Nice pictures too.
fM,
Great photos! And I love the nickname "endnote"!

MAVEN, What a beautiful group of women and their daughters. How fortunate you are to have such a lineage of photographs, good genes, and good looks.
TERRY
What a beautiful set of photographs - your daughter is very lucky, that is such a lovely and meaningful present!
Happy Mother's Day -
Thank you all for your kind words about the women of my family.
I wish I could take credit for the "looks," but I can't anymore than I can take the blame for our poor health.
Oh, and my family always knows what they're getting for Christmas, they just don't know which one.

fM,
I can't help but notice how very much your daughter looks like you at around the same age.
Very lovely!
