What do you see in your rear view mirror? by Robert Swetz

 What do you see if your rear view mirror? by Robert Swetz

 People see different things in their rear view mirror, for me I see something very special. When I was in South East Asia April & May of 2008 someone gave me this special button that has arms and legs.

 It is a photograph of my daughter Cherry that lives back in Myanmar, and every time I glance into my rear view mirror I see her special little face.

 I wore it for about one month as a necklace and then I rapped it's arms around the bracket of my rear view mirror, it has been there ever since.

 Some people might say it's dangerous and might ubstruct my vision while driving. I have been riding motor cycles for 30 years and I have never relied on mirrors while driving, I always look over my shoulder.

 When Cherry sets foot on American soil, I will take the button down from my mirror. But until then I will continue to look at her looking back at me, hoping and praying for her arrival.
