Your poor mom must have been traumatized by that doctor--what a thing to say, especially to a woman who has (1) just gone through labor and (2) doesn't have 100% command of the language.

I have some really nice photos of her that my dad took.<br /><br />I love hearing and seeing stories through pictures about people, and their history. That is why I decided to do it. <br /><br />I'll relay the comment to Caitlin about her drawings. <br />I'm glad that you have more free time now :)Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026706261655333994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499604508854863927.post-40719255794077063022012-05-20T11:27:52.347-07:002012-05-20T11:27:52.347-07:00Elizabeth, I went on Cailin's new blog - my co...Elizabeth, I went on Cailin's new blog - my comment wouldn't take under open ID.

Back in the day, the mountains of northern CA must have seemed like the end of the world to her. Compared to Panama, I am sure it was. How is it that she came to the states (and met your Dad)? I see that the other comments are all saying they liked this post - me too! One of the problems with blogging is that there is "no history". Without "history", there is always this vacant space in your relationship that you can't quite pinpoint. Having the stories is great, but having the photos solidifies it- we are now closer to you. It is a gift. I have NO IDEA if I have any photos from way back when, but I will be on a hunt to see if I have ny of them in my house, or if they are all at my mother's house. Living on the boat and then moving a couple of times means that there are boxes that never get unpacked. I will hunt for them, so I can return the gift of this post. I liked it.
