Coincidence??? I think not!!!

Our trip to LA was fabulous! K and I had a BALL.......from the moment we got on the plane in Nashville (who knew you could get a tab on Southwest!) The trip to the hotel included paparazzi chasing us with a van and opening the side sliding door to take pictures and videos of us for some unknown reason.......I guess when you have two girls with ( Read more... )

Sometimes A Picture is Worth More Than a Thousand Words anonymous November 30 2005, 02:49:50 UTC

Wow, Trina, great post! I can only imagine what those photos must mean to you. Actually, I have some idea … I recently watched a video of my mom from five years ago. She was on a cruise in Alaska - strong-voiced and talkative, bright-eyed, excited to be on an adventure. It was startling to watch, because I haven’t seen her that way in a long time, and I was starting to forget how she used to be. Like your photos, the video is now priceless, because that person is gone. Mom’s still here physically, but she’s wracked with pain and ailments and only a shadow of her former self. She rarely speaks any more, and most of the time seems lost in her own world. But … she’s still here. I can still hear her voice, even if it’s raspy and strained. I can see the joyful look on her face when a beloved grandchild comes to visit. And on a good day, I can say something goofy and elicit a smile.

Thanks so much Nick for your comment. I am sorry that it has taken so long to reply. Lots going on.....and all will be explained later. But, yes! The pictures were a wonderful gift to me.

Nick, I am so sorry to hear about your mother.....I can NOT imagine how difficult that must be. My mother was killed in a car accident instantly...so, no last "I love you" or "good-bye". I know you only see glimmers of who your mother used to be....but soak in every smile and moment. It is very difficult to lose anyone....but your mother is your rock. Take this time to share with her.....even if you think she isn't listening. Then, later when you reflect on this time with her....you will be fulfilled in knowing that she KNEW she was loved and cherished.

Keep me updated Nick!! I love your beautiful words and way of writing!!!
