There are many posts swirling in my head about my mother.  I don't know if they will ever make it to the screen.  They are similar my relationship with my mother -- complicated.  But this one is simple.  Today is the third anniversary of my mother's death.  These photos are my way of honoring her today.

This may have been her high school graduation portrait.  It was taken around 1944.

Here we are in the front yard of our Fort Worth home around 1952.

This is one of her PR shots from the 50s when she was singing in Las Vegas.

My mother and father (adoptive) in mid 1960s at our home in North Dallas.

From bottom up:  me, my mother, my daughter.  At my parents' home in Houston, Christmas 1987.  We could never deny each other.

I love this portrait.  It was taken around 1990 by a close friend of hers in Houston.
