Generation to Generation

The week that my Mom (Serif's Mimi) died I noticed she would lay with her feet crossed all the time, even to sleep. I asked her if she'd always done that or if it was just comfortable right now. She said she's always done it and that it's just comfortable and just comes naturally to do it. I found it a little amusing because I did the same thing but didn't realize I may have picked it up from her until then. I noticed early on that Serif had a tendency to cross his little feet like this too. I catch him doing it when he's just laying around, napping or even asleep at night. It doesn't matter if he's on his stomach or back, they just cross. It's funny how things work like that. It's one of those things that makes me stop and think of Mom everytime I notice either of us doing it. It makes me miss her.

such a wonderful way to remember your mom, so special. (side note: ella is a feet crosser too...since birth!)
