since I've seen my Dad like this that when Delaney said "mom, look at Poppy" while this flashed across my computer screen it stopped me in my tracks. It's hard for me to remember him any other way than the way he is right now. I am going to print this and put it by his bed side as a reminder to the staff that THIS is my father and as a reminder to my Dad to SMILE. I know he doesn't have much to smile about these days but a little positive energy can go a long way! Funny thing is......I've never seen these photos before. They are from Carter's birthday last summer and were still in RAW format tucked away w/ the other unprocessed shots from the day. I'm not sure why it came up on my slideshow, as it's not in the slideshow folder, but it did........and I needed to see this........I think the whole family did.
I'm not quite sure what he's doing---although I think it's his version of "hang 10" turns "call me", lol. He's a goof.
Lisa, so happy to hear that you are keeping photographs in his room...that is such a positive for the staff...I suspect they all love him and his family already but it is a reminder of the man they are making whole again!! I love that second photograph here...can just feel the energy and spark within him..that is what is going to make miracles in his life...his spirit! Keep the faith, sweet lady...L.R. xo
