I cannot forget my mother. [S]he is my bridge. When I needed to get across, she steadied herself long enough for me to run across safely.

A wonderful variety of mother/child pieces...all different, all beautifully done.
The first one (Sleeping mother with child) will certainly register with all moms. ;-)
Wow - what a lovely collection here, Tabatha! Thanks for sharing. Long ago, while taking a workshop/class out in California, I had the chance to hold a small Mary Cassatt painting when our group visited the home of collectors. Such tender images of this most important bond.
