Mother’s Day 2009. I stopped off to see my mother’s oldest sister, my Aunt Cladyne, who was born in 1921, on my way to North Carolina. Everything about the trip reminded me that we have all seen better days.

The old barn near Ferncliff has surely seen better days.

Better days: barn

Better days: barn

And the outbuilding across from Sheridan’s at Kents Store has too…

Better days: outbuilding

Better days: outbuilding

But you know… even if she has seen better days, when was the last time you saw the grace and strength and courage of a face like this?
