This blog entry is not about solutions for the full bust, rather it is about Mother’s Day. The picture below is my mom on the beach in Galveston TX on her honeymoon, circa 1962.
This next picture is her on the same beach on my college graduation trip, circa 1994. When I see these pictures I see the same pose, thirty years later:
The knees are at similar angles, the hip cocked, arms bent, sunglasses on, even the same blousy overshirt. The wind was blowing in the second picture so she had to hold the hat on her head. Accept your Mom the way she is right now, please don’t wait or require her to change.
After mom’s memorial service, one of her Home Depot co-workers, Jose, came up to me with a vase full of roses. He said, “I want to give you this, there are seven roses, one rose for every year I knew your Mom. Everyday when Helene saw me she would give me a kiss on the cheek and a hug. That was the bright spot in my day”. I never liked it when she did those kinds of things, they embarrassed me and I didn’t think they were always appropriate. But it sure made Jose feel good. So what you don’t like about your mom may have a positive impact on somebody else.
Finally, please love your Mom, even if she’s crotchety, hard to connect with, or out of touch. She is still your Momma.
Although this post is not about solutions for the full-bust figure, if you have any questions about bras please contact Bratique Helene, we will give you a great answer!
