My local paper often features school photographs from bygone eras and, just a few months before she died (2012), my mother pointed to such a photo in the paper and said, "I think that's me." I said, "What do you mean, you 'think' it's you?" To which she replied, "Well, there are no surviving photos of me at that age and i've sort of forgotten what i looked like then. But i'm sure that's me." I found that statement rather sad as i took millions of snaps of my children when they were toddlers.
