My mother may she Rest in Peace

I got to spend some time with her before she left this world, she was confused and didn´t know what she was doing or what was left to do...
I sat and watched her fall in and out of sleep and at times thought she had drifted into eternity beyond this life. I´d get close enough to see if she was still breathing, and I was terrified every time...
I still recall when she pulled me close and told me she knew she was dying, and I reassured her not to be affraid... and to walk into the light...
It´s hard to deal with this last leg of the journey and know ... one must walk alone... I don´t think I´m ready for this... I still need her to baby me...http://www.mountainviewfuneralhomeandcemetery.com/.../compton-thelm...En%20caché

Sofia played dress up

This weekend Sofia found dresses that belonged to Betty and Vanessa and did abit of dress up... she´s eleven and her Grandmother Betty was 21 at the time she wore this dress at Uncle Billies wedding in 1976 and Vanessa wore this red dress at Giselle´s coming out party in 1995... you could say she is going to be a model to say the least...

I paint a new me almost every day

Some days I feel the need to burn the intire picture and start out new, then other days I just want to add a little something and paint over tne booboos... It´s puzzling, everyone has a comment, not generally positive, seems like they all think you should change this or that, frustrating to say the least,
One should say OK. thats interesting and leave it at that... Don´t You think?
How do you paint in qualities you want to share... patience, loyalty, integrity, love, charity to name a few...
Guess life will eventually give the answer, if you look enough...
