I was just gonna leave it, but …

A friend took a photo of me with my mother, and … wow, what a great photo!

I posted it to Facebook, and it has ended up being the most “liked” photo I’ve ever shared.

Isn’t my mother beautiful?

You’re both gorgeous Rik, and it’s an absolutely brilliant pic!

Tell your mum she’s famous now…whether she likes it or not. 😃

That’s a gorgeous snap. Gives you a great feeling for the personalities of the people in it.

It’s a great shot. Technically fine, but just has a heap of personality.

You look like you should be great comedy team like Burns and Allen or Morey Amsterdam and Rosemarie. Tons of personality and a great vibe.

That’s actually not the first photo of her that I’ve shared. A few years ago I shared a photo of her [with her bear](http://imgur.com/fdtN1Dh). And maybe one with her wallaby.

Well, I’m 50 and she’s 72, but she has taken much better care of herself than I have of myself.

That’s not a bear. That’s a baby murder floof.
