Grandma

This is my mom, who I've dubbed the patron saint of all children (but especially my own.)  Her joy and happiness and her unbelievable devotion to young people has been a fact of my life.  Here she is playing bingo with the boys and some friends of theirs, and something they did - though I can't even remember what now- made her laugh so hard.  It's a beautiful photograph of a playful moment in time.
