My mother's wedding dress lays folded in a hope chest my grandmother gave me seven years before passing away at the age of 98. Davini Lythgoe had given me a box of home made baby blankets, diapers and hand clothes for my 18th birthday. My mother put her wedding dress in there a few years back. I open it most times I make a visit. On this occasion I tried on the dress and sat with her for a portrait.
