Today I’m missing….

my own house.  I feel guilty saying it and almost thought better of writing it.  But it’s a cloudy, rainy day and the light has that quality that makes me turn all mellow.   We knew when we started this journey to care for my mother that we would find it hard sometimes…I guess today is just one of those days.  It will pass.

These are old photos taken with my first digital camera…not the best, but to me they are dear.

I understand, but you are doing such a good thing for your Mom and for your brothers, too, because they know she is being cared for.

:'( I used to play on that front porch with legos... and read on the swing in the backyard... and run into the screen door leading to the living room/kitchen... *sigh* What fond memories I have of my home in Estrella Village. I miss it dearly.
