Submission
One of my good friends saw this article in the NYTimes and emailed it to me. It is titled ""The Lives They Lived: Share Your Photos," and it invites you to contribute a photograph that illustrates a story from the life of someone close to you who passed away this year.
So far Sally and I have sent these two in for Momma. I chose the top pic. It was Momma's first visit to Atlanta to see Solon, and this was right when she got to the house. One of her favorite things to do was feed the boys, and she immediately settled into the couch with Solon and a bottle in hand.
Sally picked the second one because she wanted the Sanderosa to be part of Momma's story. This was her holding mine and Sally's hand, and I am sure it is my dad out in the water taking the photo with his old Canon.
I just got off the phone with my Aunt Mary, and we were talking about missing Momma. We were both hit with a bit of the blues this morning. The holidays are here and it is hard to go through it without Momma here with us. But this was a wonderful thing to do and cheer me up. It always helps to share photos and stories of someone you miss. So thanks Hott:)

Awww, so glad you and Sally both submitted your own stories! I know your Momma is beaming with pride right now.
I love both of the choices!
