Memento of Love

Why is it that almost every statue of a woman I see reminds me of my wife? This one is no exception. In some statues I see my wife's more fearsome aspects, but this one reflects her great capacity for warmth and joy.

I think it's mostly the eyes. Those wide, shining eyes bring back memories of when I managed to do something that surprised her in a good way. There aren't a lot of those memories, but I cherish the ones I have.
