I See YOU!

He has her eyes

Mine are brown. Chris' are brown,
 and Dylan's eyes are blue.
Everyone wants to know
 where Dylan gets his eyes.
He gets them from his great-grandma, Mable.
My grandmother on my mother's side.


Dylan and Grandma Mable, March 2010

She is full-blooded Lumbee Indian.
She will be 87 years old this year.
She raised 14 children
 and share-cropped tobacco fields
 for most of their childhood.
She is the feistiest woman I know.
At 10 years old,
Dylan is now as tall as she is,
And he has her eyes.

Wow, that is an amazing resemblance with their eyes. Her eyes can tell a story without her even opening her mouth! I love women who have so much life to share and conquer their obstacles with courage! What a blessing to still have her with you.
