I want to share two photos of my mother. She was a great woman who loved her home and family very much. My mother's name was Ruth. In the first photo, she is next to me on one of her birthdays with a big smile. The second photo is of my mother's last smile on her last birthday. It is very important to me because it is the only photo I have left of her. She was with me in life until September 18, 2009. The truth is I still need her advice.
