I can only hope that, one day, my daughter would think of me and appreciate me and love me the same way you and your sister do with her. Your mom is so very beautiful, I swear, Mara...you are making me cry. jen laceda’s last blog post..Hallucinations and Le Shopping in Le Souk

Lovely story, Mara. My mom rarely took pictures, too. There are few of me after the age of 5 or so, and even fewer of her.

(school photos don't seem to be a reliable indicator). Off to read your piece about what your mom taught you about travel... Meagan Francis’s last blog post..Gifts from my mother…

Thanks for sharing these once-in-a-lifetime experiences. It's motivational, because childhood creativity seemed so natural back then, and as time passes, it's becoming more of a struggle to offer these open-ended experiences for our children. Wonderful story & photos. Lorraine’s last blog post..Mexico City
