This picture is a self-portrait of Erin entitled "When I'm 65...". The first time I saw it it brought tears to my eyes -- maybe because I am amazed at her vision to be able to picture herself at 65, and maybe because I know that this is the only way that I will ever see her at this age. (Not to be morbid, but even if the cancer doesn't get me, chances are I won't be around in 40+ years!)I was in the delivery room when Erin was born and when the doctor handed her to me I felt a connection to her that continues today.
Happy birthday Erin, daughter of my sister, daughter of my heart. You will continue to be beautiful at any age.
