Another “Little Helper”

I opened up my email this morning to find one entitled “My Little Helper” from my mother.  She had sent a sweet picture of her oldest daughter (that would be me) at about 20 months old.  Just a few months younger than little Gloria now.  Here is the message and picture:

Once upon a time I had a sweet little helper that was every bit as cute as your little helper.  She grew up to be a beautiful lady with many talents.  Here is what she looked like once upon a time.

Tee-hee.  I was so cute.  What happened?!
