His Little Audrey Hepburn - Day 38 of 365

MEMORY -

For as long as I can remember, Uncle Pete referred to me as "his little Audrey Hepburn" When I wore my hair in a bun, he would comment that I had a long beautiful neck like Audrey.  As a kid, I never knew who he was referring too, but as I grew older Miss Hepburn became one of my favorite actresses.  Her feminine sense of style was stunningly timeless and her movies .....classic.

APPLICATION -

Last year for Christmas, one of my students gave me an Audrey Hepburn calendar.  Today, the month of October caught my eye.  A picture of Audrey peering out of car window flashing the camera a look of pure innocence.  She really was beautiful.  I took a moment and thought about Pete's appreciation for her acting and natural beauty.  She was definitely the Diva of her time!

REFLECTION -

Certain people come into our lives who remind us of others.   A friend could remind you of a family member, or a family member could remind you of an actor.  They might not always agree, but that doesn't matter.   No matter how many times I would disagreed with Pete , he saw me as  his "Little Audrey Hepburn".  I was honored to resemble such beauty in my Uncle's mind, whether I believed it or not.
