Happy Birthday Mama

My mother would have been 81 today. Vivian Bina - you arrived a few years after my mother passed away. No matter. Between the DNA and the memories, you will surely know your Didi. Here is the earliest and last pictures I have of Dr. Bina C. You can see that trademark slant of a smile in both.

While I was digging around, I found a rather debonair picture of my dad. Those who know him from his annual summer trips to the US may have a hard time connecting the dots...I did. In this picture, he is a young artillery officer.

Vivian - your grandparents were happily married for over 50 years. If your parents are so lucky, you won't give it a second thought. I didn't till much later.

Happy Birthday, Mama. I'm sorry - I still haven't gotten into golf.
