Mom’s Birthday

family, life

Today would have been my Mom’s birthday, she would be 88. She past way in 2013. I find that I miss her quite a bit even though I didn’t get along with her all that well. Most Sunday evenings I would call her in Florida. Sometimes on a Sunday I think “Did I call Mom today?” still.

Florence, Az is located in the desert east of Phoenix. We stopped at a rest area near Coolige, Az where I took this photo of the desert.
