I started to write a big ole’ long post explaining why I have been a bad blogger and why I have been slow to respond to emails and phone calls, but it just sounded all whiny. I’ve been really busy is the best short answer that I can come up with, so I’ll leave it at that and get on to my rant for the day…
First I want to tell you that I had a wonderful Mother’s Day — I hope if you’re a Mom, you enjoyed your special day as well. My son, Ben, came to visit me, his Grandmother and his Great Grandmother. I’m sitting here looking at the photos from yesterday, and wondering if we are really all related. We don’t look anything alike!!
Ben’s wife, Amber, says Ben looks exactly like me, but I personally don’t see it. Our skin tone is totally opposite. He doesn’t have my nose. Both of us have brown eyes, but his aren’t shaped like mine. If he wasn’t wearing the goofy old-man hat, you could see his hair is dark, a tad darker than mine was back in the days before I started throwing color upon color on it. I mean seriously!! Does anyone out there think Ben looks like me?
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. -Rajneesh
I’ll take it a step further. Do I (or does Ben) look remotely like my Mom or Nanny?
If your answer is yes, back it up! Convince me already, coz I’m not seeing a resemblance.
