Autumn Day


Autumn Day
Originally uploaded by unohuu.

This is the second oldest surviving member of my family. My mother is an acerbic and sharp-witted woman who suffers from dementia now. She fades in an out like an old B/W TV with rabbit ears. It does not matter to me. I rather enjoy her philosophical rantings and her ability to both expand and compress time. I have been her brother, father and son all in one day. She probably does not know what day today is, nor who the President of the US is. Why should she care at this point? She has done her duty and should simply enjoy these sundowning years. This was taken on the deck at the back of our house. I hope she stays awhile.
