Taken on Wednesday while visiting my mom. She is 92 years old and is already in her world. She does not want to eat, so I always prepare something easy for them to swallow and something that she has always liked.
I have been interested in photography all my life and remember quite well developing my first black and white films myself... My favorite subjects are...
What a sweet image. We are in the same boat with our mothers. I'm taking her milkshakes to try to get some meat on her bones. She just about quit eating when she broke her hip back in May. She too is in her own world. One of her doctors told me broken bones worsen the dementia, and the loss of appetite is another symptom of it. Her comprehension is all but gone. Like a little child now. Role reversal for us is a hard pill to swallow. God bless you, sweetie.
We have many in our congregation who are also taking care of parents in a similar way. My heart goes out to you and them. It really is so difficult to see the person you knew still there but not there at the same time. However you have managed to capture a beautiful shot of your mother through her hands- hands you always remember loving you.
