Gifts

Yesterday a friend of mine at work brought me a belated birthday present-- A beautiful picture frame of pearls and crystals. Later in the day I opened an email from my sister and attached was a beautiful picture of my mom. It had been sent to Teresa from a cousin in Ohio. It was a black and white portrait of my mother that neither one of us had seen before. Mom was probably 17 or so. It may have been taken her senior year of high school. Luckily I had one piece of photo paper in the cabinet so I printed it and it now resides on my desk in the gift frame of pearls. The picture and frame are a perfect compliment to each other. What serendipity!
