When you select photos of the year for 2008, I hope you will include Kevin Bennett’s May 10 Page B1 photo of Sonya and Madyson Barclay. The words of their story are fine, but that picture of a woman so beautiful and bald with her little girl invokes all the hurt and hope in a visual classic of mother and daughter.

I will keep it where I can laugh and cry when I see it until the paper curls and fades. Thanks for the story and more thanks for Bennett’s often outstanding photos.
