Made for Mom

My grandmother (Mom) migrated to New York in the ‘50s from St. Vincent & the Grenadines. She left behind her four children in her mother's care in order to pursue a better life. Every school year my mother and her siblings would get dressed in their school uniforms to take a picture and mail it to Mom in New York. The family reunited after a six year separation. This is the only group photo that exists. The group photo is woven into Mom’s portrait. Do you see four children and Granny? What parts of the image are left behind?
