Going grey gracefully
You took aging gracefully. You knew how to dress, fix yourself up, hold yourself with poise and regard, and look very professional and respectable.
Pearl earrings, short hair, neck scarves, blazers. I remember you used to “color” your hair in your 40s. But I recall you asking me when I was younger about continuing your hair dyeing. Apparently I was for maintaining natural grey color. I said it was more natural, that silver looked good, that it made her look more respectable, and most of all … It just meant less hassle. You bought my argument and even used it as ammunition against the rain of criticism from your siblings about how old you look.
Whatever crap they said mom, you looked great. I said it when I was younger, and I still mean it today. I hope my greying pattern will be like yours when I, too, go grey.
