Mom and Jeremy

Here is a picture (taken during the summer of 1977) of my youngest son being cradled by his grandmother (my mother).  Jeremy was three months old at this time and my parents drove out to Pennsylvania to visit us and to participate in Jeremy's baptism.  I think this is a very sweet picture of my mom and her grandson.  As I look back on these family photos I can see how much Jeremy resembles his own baby daughter, Evelyn, at that very age.  Evelyn was my mother's middle name and her great granddaughter is named in honor of her.  Here she is holding, as this picture shows, the future father of her namesake.  The circle of life continues to roll through time--great grandmothers to grandmothers to parents to children.  What leaves always comes back.  That's comforting to know.
