It's been a few weeks since mother's day. I have a picture in y hallway of me and my mom along with my sisters on my first mother's day as a baby. I was 6 months old. We are standing in front of our house. I tried recreating it with Fabiola, but it didn't turn out as cute as I expected. Maybe I was hoping for more. 

This is my mom in the picture on the left. The photo was taken way before I was born. A lot of people say we look a lot a like, I still have a hard time seeing it.

I haven't been able to enjpy mother's day since she died in 2000, but this year was diffrent. We took Fabiola on her mother;s day as a baby to the Reston Zoo. It was a lot of fun watching her trying to grab the camels and goats. 

I wonder regularly if Fabiola will have a hard time enjoying holidays if I die young also. Don't get me wrong, I plan on hanging around for a long time, but so did my mom.
