Description
"The laughter and the tears
The shadows of misty yesteryears
The good times and the bad you've seen
And all the others in between
Remember, do you remember
The times of your life."
~sung by Paul Anka

Mildred looked at herself again in the mirror, the same mirror her husband gave her when they were newlyweds. She did not see the reflection of a woman with an old, wrinkled face. Instead she saw the memories of the past, although hiding from the shadows of time, they're still loud and clear in her mind. Her children now grown, seven grandchildren, the man she shared those fruitful years with, passed away a decade ago... all she has now are the lingering thoughts of yesteryears, to look back and wait when her time comes. She knew there will be more time to share with her family, more hugs to give to her grandchildren and plenty of moments to enjoy.
Mildred is an elderly woman morph for V4, if you're interested to download her please check out the freebie section. Skin textures by 3DCelebrity from DAZ. Although her neck doesn't show much wrinkles, it's still an amazing texture. This is a tribute to my mom, her birthday this month. When my dad passed away years ago, she bravely faced her fears and sacrificed a lot for us. A wonderful woman, a great friend and adviser and always there to lend a helping hand with her words of wisdom.

Had to come back to this one a few times today. I guess the overt reality of the image leaves me wanting for words. I think you pretty much said it all and there is not much original I can add.

A picture that speaks for itself
Aren't mums something just so wonderful, Jenny? Sacrifice is what they do, and you will never know it or realise it and they will never talk about it, because they don't want you to know it. They are selfless and loving and deep-down inside, there is still that girl with all her ideals and dreams and THAT is who you hug when you give her a hug... Thank you for your generous gift, Jenny... you are paying homage to your mum so beautifully... in giving, as she did.
This is good, it's nice to see an older lady in the gallery. I like the fact that even her hands look older.
