My Mother

[poliphilo]

 My mother is in her mid eighties and has the enthusiasms of a child. She's so bright and cheerful. She owns all these race horses and it's like she's an eight year old who's just discovered ponies. I can't imagine being so near the end of my life and still so enthralled by the business of living.

She's beautiful.

She looks much younger than her years. I am writing thsi surrounded by pics of this year's student intake (mostly 16/17 year olds) and none of them look out at the camera so boldly.

Looking at that photo with your icon next to it I can definitely see a family resemblance.

She does look younger than her years. And her hair is still its natural colour- a little dustier than it was perhaps but still unmistakeably blonde.
