Remembering my Mom on June 7th
I can't let this day pass without mentioning the fact that I am thinking of my mother as I always often do; but especially on this day of June 7th for it the day she married my father. The marriage did not work out which was understandably hard for her to handle.
Years upon years later, she would still talk about it and when I took a Visual Art Bookmaking class in college I created a book based on this fact.
It can be seen in the image atop this entry. The cover of the book features an image of her that was placed a little above the surface to indicate her attempts to rise above the situation. Inside the book is her torn wedding picture.
