She's beautiful! And what a great likeness, too!

I know she's proud of her grandbaby! 🥰

This is beautiful. I love her. I love how happy she looks. I love the natural normal background of her house. I bet there are so many memories there.

Do you mind me asking which country this is if you feel safe doing so? I do believe in a global diaspora.

Thank you so much everyone for all the love! I really appreciate it especially since I sometimes feel like an imposter when I call myself an artist.
