Hard to believe that it has been ten years, mom... and yet it seems like a lifetime ago. I miss you. November 29, 1927 - May 13, 2000
This is a picture of my mother, Wilma Jean Mitchell Thompson, and her father Wilson Mitchell, taken on Christmas morning, some time in the late 70s or early 80s (papaw passed away in 1983).

Oh how I miss her. Her smell... a mixture of musk and smoke and softness. The feel of her hands on my face when she would kiss me full-on the lips. Her little flat-bottom house slippers. The subdued lighting throughout the house. The sound of the cookie jar. Boxes and JCPenny catalogues turning into hours of fun for us both. Oh ouch. My heart hurts.
It doesn't feel like it's been that long. There are so many things I can vividly remember. Wish the kids could've known her. Thanks Uncle Del
I just realized I had never seen this picture before...how is that possible?
