6:25 Starbucks Cross Creek
Sunrise-NOT captured from the Malibu Pier. Then this brief glimpse from Albertson's parking lot in Santa Monica.
Woke to the most wonderful image of Mom’s place – a composite of the living room from Apt. 153 at Norwood Crossing, with its great view, the kitchen from D305 at Resurrection Retirement Center, and the bedroom at 5329 Ludlam with the hallway down to Dad’s room though it’s not clear if he’s there yet or not. It’s all bright, sunny and airy with no walls as we know them. Not stuck in any one location. Not of this Earth. Though food is no longer needed, that kitchen provides nurturance. The living room a space from which to gaze and wonder and receive visitors. The bedroom a place for dreams. Welcome home, Mom.
What a warm and lovely image you conjure for your Mom and Dad, Darlene! That's a reflection of what you knew and loved all your days with them. Beautiful!!! I wish the same for my Mom and Dad, but Daddy has to wait a while. In the meantime he plays Canasta with my Shonnie, Grandma and Grandpa and he plays "Fetch" with our much loved and sorely missed Brandy. Do your folks play Canasta or Pinochle? Maybe they will meet my Dad and start a game or two.
