Love this! It made me cry. The photo of the two of you together is beautiful.

The last time I wore makeup was at my son's wedding in 2017. I used to think I looked dead without it (in the business world). Now, this is the way I look - take it or leave it.

Aw. That was touching and a beauty photo with your son. You will beat me to the big seven oh by just a few months. A charming read.

You have a lovely relationship with your son. Too bad about the first two men who couldn't see the social norms of a woman wearing a little makeup. What were they afraid of? Why were they controlling a pretty woman?

No answer to that question, I’m afraid.

Beautiful story and wonderfully validating in an area you were unsure about.
