I love these photos so much, Jodi.

Thanks Ollie. I love taking them. The camera loved her when she was younger, and she loved the camera, always posing. She doesn’t have that presence of mind anymore, but I love her more now than I ever have before, and I feel like that shows In the photos, I take of her. It’s my way of hanging on.

I have my teddy bears.

My favorite picture is still the recreation of the closet scene from ET.

Go for it, Jodi! I'm already a paid subscriber, so I guess I'll pass on this for now, but I'm cheering you on. I want you to have the little checkmark too! xo

Thanks. I love taking photos of her. She used to a real poser, now it’s a matter of lighting and timing.

Happy Birthday month!

I'm so glad your mom has an endless supply of live or stuffed objects to cuddle with. She does look so sweet sleeping. 😊

it all started with one, Bubbala, that has since been lost to the street. People send them. People who have never met her. The aides buy them. I see one that's nice and soft and grab it for her. When she's gone, I'll pick one to keep and then I'd like to have an open house for kids to grab whatever makes the happy....
