the good times

IN TRYING TO SHOW MOM ..AS SHE WAS JUST A SHORT TIME AGO. ITS HARD.  I HAVE WATCHED A SLOW SLOW DECLINE...BUT BEFORE WE START THE DECLINE...JUST TAKE A LOOK...HERE IS MOM WHEN SHE WAS LIVING ALONE AT APACHE WELLS..GATED COMMUNITY WITH CLUB HOUSE..AND I WOULD PICK HER UP JUST ABOUT EVERYPLACE I WOULD GO

 THIS WAS HERE 91ST BIRTHDAY...FLOWERS FROM HER CHILDREN BACK IN OHIO..SHE ALWAYS DRESSED SO NICE..HAIR JUST PERFECT.  I AM GLAD SHE DOESN'T LOOK IN THE MIRROR NOW.....

 OH WOW. LOOK WHO IS VISITING. DANNY. HER GRANDSON.  SHE LIVED WITH DANNY IN PRESCOT FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS..AND THEN MOVED ON.  MOM MOVED ABOUT 8 TIMES, BEFORE I BOUGHT THE HOUSE IN THE WELLS SO SHE HAD TO STAY...MOM WAS LOOKING FOR...WHAT WASN'T THERE ANYMORE..HOME WITH DAD.

 

 I ALSO TOOK  HER TO OUR CALIFORNIA CONDO.  SHE LOVED IT.  WOULD IRON. I WOULD GOLF.  JOHN WOULD COME DOWN ON A FRIDAY NIGHT..WE WOULD PUT MOM ON THE PLANE..AND PICK UP JOHN ( HUBBY).  LIFE WAS GOOD FOR MOM..WALKING..IRONING...SHE IS ABOUT 90 HERE...

CAN'T REMEMBER WEHRE WE WERE, SOME PARK..RIDES...SHE SAT IT OUT..BUT SHE WALKED AND ATE AND DID JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING...HERE SHE IS 92...
THE SLIDE STARTS.
