Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi, I generally don't make the time to look at the pics - maybe i went to that section once before - but I did the other day (I'll have to go back again to see 's, and may one day get around to posting my own).... I must say I loved them.... especially the ones from happy times with our loved ones. Joan you have the cutest dog, and the picture of you and your Mom filled me with good thoughts.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi Helene, I think that in the more than one year that I have been a member of this forum, I only looked at pictures once. Then last week, I went into the folder and was looking at them and saw what a good thing that it is. It is not only good to see the faces of others from this forum, but to formally see all the LOs both in the present and their better days. It is a tribute to all that have this disease, as well as a tribute to us members. Although Mom has passed, I still check the posts and sometimes respond, I find it real tough emotionally sometimes, but I think it is therapeutic for me to heal and to understand now some of the things that I didn't understand while she was alive. When I find some more time, I am going to add to the folder of my Mom with photos that were scanned for her tribute at her viewing. It's good to see sometimes how a special person had evolved from a baby to a teenager, adult, parent, and also the decline from both age and LBD. I posted Dolly's pictures not only because I love her, but she is very special to me. I got her two days after I wss fully moved to my new home in North Las Vegas, and she was named Dolly - a nickname for Dolores (Mom)and she realy helped me through some very hard days. She knows when I am sad and will lick away my tears. She also seems to sense the spiritual presence around Mom's organ when I am very troubled and/or thinking about Mom. I think I'll keep her!

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thank you so much for your kind note. I find it very comforting to be able to post some of my feelings here in this forum. I may cry a whole flood of tears some times when I am writing, but I think that they are good tears...tears that tell me that I had a wonderful Mom and I have absolutely no regrets as far as my relationship with her. Yes...I do miss her, but it is a relief that she is freed of sickness and whole again. I hope to be with her and my dad some day! Hugs from me and puppy kisses from Dolly > > Joan, I understand your feelings about your Mom. She was a wonderful woman > to have raised five kids by herself. I can't imagine what she went through > to do it. But, it was a blessing to her, and to you, to have been together > to the end. That makes you a wonderful person too. And, I love you dear > young woman with the beautiful smile that looks just like your Mother's. > > Love with a smile, > Imogene > > Caregiver for my True Texas Gentleman Husband.
