Ashley Judd shared unedited photos of herself and her sister on Instagram, causing fans to remember their late mother, Naomi Judd. Ashley reminisced about their childhood and showed off her sister walking to the stage for a performance. “This past Friday, she sang in Knoxville, and it was glorious,” she gushed. “My favorite songs are the ones our Mama wrote, so customized for her voice are they.”
Ashley wrote nostalgically about how her “big sister” cared for her growing up, from powdering her as a baby to making her “feel big” with homework and teaching her to drive a 1957 Chevy. “My protector, with whom I compared mosquito bites after we played in eastern Kentucky creeks looking for crawdads,” she added.
