To give birth, to nourish,
to bear and not to own,
to act and not lay claim,
to lead and not to rule:
this is mysterious power.

Who is that? A wonderful strong face, just on the edge of mirth, as if she had a lovely secret.
My mother at 19. That photo was taken during the year after her mother had died.
Did your Mum just recently die? She couldn’t have been very old. It’s so sad to lose a parent. Both mine lived to be a great age, but even then it’s a wrench. We have so many memories invested in them, so much of who we are. Do/did your parents still live in Germany?
Thank you for sharing. What a nice strong face.
