Progress of another sort...

Shortly after Dad died on January 15, I tried to put up a display of photos of Mum and Dad. I had to take it down again shortly thereafter. Every time I looked at it, I cried. I put away all photos of Mum & Dad (except for one which was on a low table and behind the magazine rack, and didn't really enter my field of vision). I put away all Dad's wonderful nature and airplane photographs.

Today, I took that one photo of Mum & Dad (& me) from the low table, and put it on my dresser. I think it'll be okay. It's not recent enough to bring back the memories of their struggles over the past few years. Yes, I think it'll be okay.

    I'm sure too that you'll begin to enjoy the pictures again after some time.
