I remember watching my mother while she would put on her makeup and set her hair. Everyday, no matter what she had been doing to care for her five children, our home and yard, at 5pm like clockwork, she would get dolled up for our father’s arrival back home after work. As she was preparing to be her most beautiful self to greet her husband, I once asked her: “What are all those holes on your face?” Her skin didn’t look like my 11 year old skin I’ll never forget her expression as she looked at me and said: Pores: It happens.” I’ll also likely never forget the shame I felt for making her feel less beautiful. If we’re lucky, aging happens… we all get larger pores as our bodies strive to grasp as much oxygen as possible to keep us alive and well. Interestingly, today my mother is more alive than ever. Honestly, I think she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. I hope I’ll be lucky enough to look half as wonderfully beautiful as she does.
