I remember it must have been 15 or 20 years ago I was watching the Oscars and Christina Aguilera received an Oscar for something or some kind of a war that I don’t remember that but I remember camera switched on to her mother as she was watching her daughter walk down the aisle and that picture of her mother left it indelible imprint on me that I’ve never forgotten The pride you can see the work on her face that she’d been through in her life everything in a 3 second glimpse I would love to see somebody recover that from film and do a painting of and maybe just call the proud mother
