My mother, Edna Simmons...
Here she is, making a funny face. :^D
My sister Sue, her granddaughter Patience, and I, spent alot of time last month visiting Mom in the nursing home. She has Alzheimer's, so the past and the future do not trouble her...
We spent alot of time outdoors, picking wildflowers...

Hugging and smooching...
Painting nails....
Patience being patient...
Ahhhhhhh..................
Singing songs, being in the moment...
Because, really, that's all there is...
Edna, circa 1936ish.

Love that line from you.
And I love your frilly dress too!

A great group of photos. Your mother was and still is a beautiful woman. The face she made reminds me so much of my own mother, who passed last December, aged 99 years and 11 months to the day. I miss her a lot.
How difficult it must be for all of you that Alzheimer's has erased your mother's memory, but I love your attitude and spirit of acceptance.
