They have done so much more than just raise us and so many times it all gets looked over. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again for today my little map girl!The Nelson Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702691878869615496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986078710205538946.post-67111159548505507932008-02-28T10:34:00.000-07:002008-02-28T10:34:00.000-07:00Speaking of family noses, chins, eyes, etc., it oc...Speaking of family noses, chins, eyes, etc., it occurred to me, even before reading your extra comments, that if you look at the young photo of Gram here, it looks a bit like you! Yes, it's true!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for writing this tribute to Mom. Very appropriate, especially as we look to the future, and think about who will carry the reigns of the family (meaning me, you, Don, & David). Gram was very much an anchor, the subconscious thread binding all the extended family together. As the years pass, the three sisters' families may become more independent, depending a lot on geography I suspect, and this closeness we've enjoyed as cousins may not be the same in twenty years as it has in years past. But who knows? A lot of that depends on us, how much effort we make to keep in touch. Go blogging! And you know, if you don't blog, you can at least post a comment here & there (hint, hint)...<BR/><BR/>Did I have a point here? Seems like I got side-tracked. It's occurred to me lately, that Mom has really made an effort to put a positive face forward on things. Very little negativity, much more effort to connect with all of us and her grandchildren. I don't know if it's a change in her, or if I'm just less immature than I used to be, and I can see things in perspective now that I couldn't before. I certainly think more and more of my mother and our relationship, as I try to raise an ornery daughter of my own. Was I that ornery to my mother? Wait, I don't know if I want the answer to that. But, then again, maybe I do. It's a curiosity thing, you know just to see if the Mother's Curse works (watch Bill Cosby <I>Himself</I>, classic comedy.)<BR/><BR/>You're right, we are in good hands, and can certainly seek to emulate our mother as the years pass.

But looking at this picture, I stand corrected. Look at those noses!
