Mouse/Stylus-Drawn Images

Baby_Sarah.jpg is my only memory of my baby sister, who died only a few days after she was born. I remember a doll that looked like Baby_Sarah.jpg, and to me, being a 2 year old boy, that doll somehow became Sarah in my mind. I don't know how this happened; it's possible that the toy was intended to be hers, and I was holding it and looking at it while hearing her name. I don't remember. But when required to assign a visual image to Sarah, I have always used that one -- this is "my" Sarah.

One day I was telling a girlfriend about all of this over an AIM conversation, and I quickly sketched up my memory in (no less than) PC Paint. I got it right on; the drawing replicated the image i've been carrying around for 30 years so accurately that I was a little taken aback when I looked at what I'd put down.
