I just came across this sketch folded up in a stock of old sketchbooks, designs, ideas, etc. that I must have been playing around with a long time back... The subject is my mom when she was a young lady. ~ I'm thinking that at the time I just folded it up because I didn't think much of the artwork or really give it that much effort ( or maybe I just never found the time to finish it ), but I like it now and am reminded of what a kindhearted beauty she was. Marian Gabriel { "Mimi" } Fox Breslin ( 1933 - 2003 ) :  I am the youngest of her and my Dad’s ( Leo J. Breslin, 1928 - 2000 ) seven children. Together they had three sons and four daughters making theirs a family of nine. I’ll add this other find I also came across this past week while putting away the stash of Christmas decor and collectibles. It’s my mom’s hospital card from the day I was born. ~ As is probably so for many or most people about his or her birthday, I’ve always found the numbers and date interesting as far as numbers and dates go. My mom always told me that it was peaceful to be in hospital the Sunday I was born and away from the hyperactivity of Christmas morning. ( She had all her 7 children within 9.5 years. ) There has never been a time that I could not imagine how that could have been the case for her.
