I painted the sun above us, with a big smile on its face.I was still painting when Mom walked into my room. Her mouth was open and she stood there quiet ly, looking at the wall. “I'm in big trouble, ” I thought. So I was really surprised when Mom said, “What a beautiful picture, Helen！” The picture stayed on my bedroom wall and is still there today, 30 years later. I see it every time I go home to visit Mom.I tell this story because it shows how much Mom supported my love of painting. When I was in school, she cared about my art as much as other subjects. She kept all my paintings and hungmany of them on the walls of our house. She often said, “You are s o talented. Follow your dream. ”Today I'm a successful painter.
