Mary Anne, this is a wonderfully touching photo, beautifully executed. I am sure it is an image your family will treasure for a long time to come. ~Sharon

Thank you both. Yvonne, your comment about my mom looking "elsewhere" made me take another look at the photo, for I thought she was looking pretty directly at the camera. I think your observation is pretty accurate, though, as there is a sense of her eyes not quite focusing, which probably is a reflection of the state of her mind these days. I'm always amazed at how the camera can reveal truths about people that may not be so apparent to our eyes.

Mary Anne, this is a really wonderful capture. I love how your Mom is looking "elsewhere" while the little girl is straight on! Yvonne
