Well it wasn’t an easy road, but it has been a road of recovery that has been pretty smooth. My mother left the hospital on Saturday, 3 days earlier than expected. Her Doctors and Nurses were amazed by her progress and let her go. I think it may have something to do with my mother being a royal pain in the arse and asking for coffee the whole time she was there that made them rush her out. Needless to say, I’m sure that my Mom is happier having a coffee in the comforts of her own home.
While I was there supporting I shot as much as I could. Like I had mentioned earlier, it was a bit of a crutch that helped me deal with the situation at hand. Since I’ve been home I’ve been working on the images and trying to form a nice slideshow that tells the story of the 5 days I was at her side. I shared the first version with my Mom and Dad, and with their blessing I will share will you all.
This slideshow is very personal. It was my way of dealing with the situation. I hope that you enjoy & I’d love to hear your feedback.

Thank you for sharing it’s truly amazing to see the emotion from all in your photography. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family in this time of need. Peggy is a very strong woman and very fortunate to have such an amazing family standing behind her.
I’m so sorry for mom, you and your family… that you even have to go through such a difficult journey, but at the same time I’m almost envious and jealous that my dad, myself and my family didn’t get the opportunity to fight this disease together. You created a beautiful tribute for this united front against something so terrible. Good luck to your mom. May you have many, many more years to capture happier memories together on film and in your hearts.
