Several of the snapshots deal with the day my son and his family from Colorado came to my Mom's apartment building complex. They had never seen where she lived, and a family picnic was planned. Of course, it rained. And they were delayed by train "lack of schedule". And the rest of us had pretty well eaten our fill.
But....they GOT THERE! The children, twins 5 and brother 4, had not ever met Great-Grandma. She was, by this time, attached to a walker or wheelchair. This feature photo shows the obligatory "family pic" in two rows, so we fit. My son Sam with Tim and Nick, Great-Grandma. and Lydia. Ray, my husband, is behind and I am on the left of Mom. I'm so glad we took that picture.
Mom passed away about two and a half months later, after suffering a stroke and "hanging on" for over a week.
The kids have not been back to this area.
So, there are a lot of memories attached to this "frozen moment".
