My GREAT Aunt Libby to be exact! Libby is 91 and recently lost her home in the Cedar Rapids flood. I enjoyed sitting on my porch (which has the perfect sweet light!!!!) photographing Libby. She and my grandmother were dear friends, they looked alike and they both loved to paint, sew, knit etc. Every gift from these two special women was handmade and meant so much to me. I vividly remember the doll bed Libby and Uncle Lester made me. The fabric was blue and white check and it held my Baby Tender Love perfectly. I cry every Christmas eve at church during Silent Night wishing for the days of being surrounded by the generations of my family at Great Grandma’s organ.
I hope Libby didn’t see the tears running down my face as a photographed her. It was a very special moment for me. I think I’ll make a habit of this.
