Oh Mother

Another Karan is born

If she ever looses sight she’ll wear butterfly glasses.

Males have a round black dot in the hindwing that the females do not have

Helicopter Mom?

“One of these days and it won’t be long you’ll look for me and I’ll be gone. This is all I gotta say to you woman…Your time is gonna come…”

My “ex” turned into MY mother. Enough of that already!

Turning? It looks like she has already turned. … and (if they live) …

… Don’t they all eventually “turn into their mothers”?

At least she’s come out of her cocoon and you’re still a caterpillar. Lol

I guess it’s Brothers Day today …!

I was lucky. My wife learned her social behaviors from her father. I was also fortunate that I got to know him for nine years before he died.

If I had met my wife after her father had died and conjectured what my wife’s changes with age would be by how her mother interacted, then I would have assumed that the future would be intolerable and told my wife-to-be that “it’s not you it’s me”.

I should have told my father-in-law how much I appreciated and respected him when he got the terminal diagnosis. Too young to realize how important and meaningful it would be to a guy who went through a depression, a war, a tax audit caused by a crooked accountant (took three years and legal fees to clear his name), a divorce of a first wife, etc.

Wow! Look at the teeth on that butterfly!
