My sweet cousin sent me a picture of a family Thanksgiving celebration from the 1960s in Cades Cove. My dear mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousins are all there. It was so touching to see my mother again. I hadn't seen her in so long--it struck me how much my middle child looks like her. The oldest lady [seated on the left hand side] is directly in front of my Mom--the blonde- headed teenager.
