Love to you and your mum. @Lorraine We've already exchanged lovely words via email, but I wanted to thank you again for reading this and writing such a loving comment about my mum. She's the kind of person who doesn't complain much, I am sure she sees a changed lady when she sees her reflection. x s @Rita Thanks for your heartfelt comment. I am sorry you lost your Ami-you're very lucky to have had her for so many years. Big hug. @BongMom Thank you for visiting and for reading this post.

What worries me is that all these great mamas are such hard acts to follow!

As a mother watching her children grow up, I recognize the play of love and memory. I have a feeling that you are not the only one who feels there's a Missing Person. Maybe Ami, like me, looks in the mirror and asks, <em>Who is that person? Do I really look like that? Well, yes, I recognize the eyes...</em> I don't know what Ami looked like years ago, but she's gorgeous in the photo above. (As is her daughter!) Dear Shayma:
