Blowing Out the Candles
Originally uploaded by randubnick.
Tonight I edited and colorized an old family snapshot to get this image. The little girl in the red dress is me; the little girl in blue is my cousin, and my mom is holding my cousin as she blows out the birthday candles. My cousin and I grew up in the same house, more like twins than cousins. Once at a birthday party, one of our committee of parents picked up the wrong kid when the moment came to blow out the candles. This image is going to be a birthday greeting for my cousin, but I am also posting it here in honor of the mother of the little girl in red, as well as the mother of the little girl in blue.
