Life taking care of my aging mother on a day to day basis. Things that I have learned and changed about myself

Then and Now: #2
The story with Santa photo is this: The black and white is of me at about 5 or 6...my Dad had taken me to have my photo. That,in itself is interesting because my Dad was pretty strict about us being Jewish and NOT even pretending to celebrate Christmas. He told my Mom that just as the photo was snapped, I was telling Santa that we were Jewish and didn't celebrate Christmas. I don't know if that is true or not, but obviously I was talking about something.
The color photo was a whim. My Mom was feeling pretty good on Monday of last week. My sister wanted to go to the outlet mall, so the 3 of us went. As we passed Santa's little house, I said "Shall we?" My sister thought it would be a great memory maker. So here you go. When we show the photo to folks,my mother remarks what a very nice that was.

Still cannot believe your mom will be 90 this year!
ReplyDeleteMy mom told me this morning that Grammie also said that Santa was good looking. She's still a little minx even at 90!
ReplyDeletethat comment was me, Lori. I don't know why it showed up as "Unknown."
ReplyDeleteTrying it this way now (still Lori)...
ReplyDeleteYou will never regret those "whims" when there is such a lasting record. Having lost my mom 3 years ago this week and my father a year ago I am so thankful for the moments of extra effort, the silly pictures and for changing my entire life to care for them during their last 2 years. Keep of the good work and know it is an honor that you are able to be there for her.
