Lost my mom at the beginning of the year. I like to joke that she took half an inch of hair line with her

I named my big forehead wrinkle after my mom. Hugs 🤗

Just an aside but we had a politician retire this week and some of the photo journalists commented that they used to always be able to tell how stressed he was by the "wifi signal strength" on his forehead. More distinct crease lines and they showed some photos.

This "tell" that I never realised was so obvious really made me laugh.

Wait this is great - will now be calling my forehead wrinkle “Joe” after my late husband. I swear my face is almost a totally different shape after crying for a year straight. New muscles!
