a post note to yesterday's post

{David, Linda, and Michael}

The cutest little girl in the middle of this photo is my mom. She is a grandma now.

I happen to know that when she was a little girl she loved having her mother put socks on her feet. As soon as a tiny sock was on this little girl's foot, her mommy would rub her foot, one swipe, from the bottom of her heel to the tip of her toes. Then she would put a sock on the next foot and do the same thing. It may seem small and insignificant, but it is a treasured memory my mother holds of her mother. And perhaps the reason she still loves heaving her feet massaged oh so much.
