Her name is Lora
She was born on this day in 1954
She is the daughter of Ralph
Who is the son of Henry
Who was the son of Nels
She was less than 10 when I met her. On a few occasions, we would stay over night with her parents, although we lived less than 20 miles away.
Lora had this look of surprise on her face. She has a wonderful smile. The first time we did a sleep over, she came in early in the morning and sat on the bed and cleared her throat. When we woke up, she looked at us in surprise asking if she had awaken us. When one played a game with her, win or loose, she was surprised!
Lora had her own daughter in the mid eighties. She was an infant at the time and I haven't seen either of them since. How fortunate for this little girl to have a mother like her.
It wasn't until I was shifting though the pictures from the old trunk in the garage that I met up with both of them in still images. Lora still has that element of wonder and she and her daughter share a beautiful smile.
Happy birthday to a beautiful soul. May your light and smile shine today and always.
