I managed to get to see mum today after about 2 months of lockdown conditions. She lives in a rest home and you can only go by appointment. The home is following strict protocols, so that's nice to know. She is 95 and is doing very well. (Luckily mum didn't see this image, as she would've said not to use it as she hadn't put on her makeup and didn't have any jewellery on...)
Well, she looks absolutely wonderful, make up or not. She's a very pretty lady and doesn't look a day over 70! How good it must have felt to get to see her after so long. I bet she was delighted too!
How lovely to be able to meet up face to face, it all comes over in this beautiful natural portrait of your mother Dianne, who needs makeup or jewellery when you look this good:)
She is a beautiful woman and one I am proud to call Aunty.. She doesn't need makup to look glamorous.. I took a photo this afternoon and her words went through my head as I clicked.... 'Oh look at those beautiful hills'.. You may get to see this shot tomorrow..
This may be one of those times when it helps to have dementia if you are in a care facility. Hard on the ones with memories though. I have tried to imagine if this had happened while my DH was in one. Glad your mom is well.
@joansmor luckily mum is pretty onto it and had lots of phone contact with family during lockdown. She even has a cellphone and receives texts and often manages to reply.
A lovely happy portrait! I haven't seen my mum since the end of February, and train travel restrictions have not yet been relaxed enough for me to travel to see her.
