| Lisabeth and I - Mom help, what year was this? |
I can't remember what year this photo was taken, my memory bank is horribly deficient (I am going to guess, 1976). But I can always remember endless days with my sidekick, Li. The baby of the family, she was happy to let me "mother" her: make her breakfast, lunch and clean our room. Smooth sailing unless she decided that she wanted something different, you wouldn't believe the defiance and sparks that could fly from this cute, freckled face midget. My mothering ways could not withstand her category 5 lashings and I would have to submit to her will.
I hope she can tap into her strengths: intelligence, tenacity, guts and gusto and know that everything will be as she needs/wants it to be.

H, I love this. Truly love it.
so sweet...love the photo...
I have a brother that I know would be at my side at the snap of my fingers if I needed him, but I'm envious of all my friends that have a sister. I watch my daughters and find great comfort in knowing they will always have each other's back when life gets tough. You and your sister are very lucky to have each other.
I loved this picture and believe it was 1976. We went to Busch Gardens with Mom Mom. It was a memorable trip and I am grateful for those photos.
