Will YOU Remember Me ALZHEIMERS

Even though she's been gone several years now, I'm sure that you still miss your Momma terribly, Joy. Your photograph of her is a wonderful reminder, and a reminder to all of us not to take anything for granted. Beautiful shot. Congrats on your First Place contest win. Please feel free to join the Contest Winners First Place on FineArtAmerica Group, if you haven't already, and upload this image to the group.

joy, a beautiful woman in this photo! i wrote this piece called tattooed memories in memory of my aunt who suffered from Alzheimer's. memories and faces fading like dimming stars in morns first light. no recognition not even a voice, do you know who i am don't you know? you raised me up so long ago, the tears in my eyes are the pain in your soul i hope you know i'm by your side. can you see me with your sky blue eyes or squeeze my hand, can you feel my hug or a kiss on your cheek. I will always be with you where ever you are you will always be loved be sure of that. and when your gone from me a tattooed memory is all i have left of you, never to fade never to be erased. god bless!

Joy, This is such a moving image and description. Alzheimer's is certainly a terrible disease that affects soooo many people - individuals and their families. So sorry about your mom. Fantastic image! v/f/p

Fania, thank you for your comment. I hope more get the message of my title like you have.

awe...Cate you are so welcome. You are so kind to have taken the time. When faced with Alzheimers, memories become very special. Making memories with photography is very dear to me & I hope to others.

Wow, such a very moving reality! Thank you for sharing! GBY.

Thank you, Joy, for the nice comment on my Baby Elephant. I was touched by your story about how your mom loved elephants & how she would've been 83 on March 1st. Seeing your mom here, it must have been quite difficult watching this passage of time. Bless your heart. Hope you continue to create beautiful art, like the many wonderful examples in your portfolio. All the best to you & yours.

thank you so much, Issam.
