January 19

I've been putting off posting for today for over two weeks.  This photo ...
my only photo for the day ... on such a significant day for our family.
We finally got our mom to move out of the house she'd been renting for about 15 years,
and into a supported housing apartment.  This has been HUGE!  This has been HARD!
This has been sad, but so, so good! Unlike the photo seems to depict, she is not restricted to
a wheelchair.  She does need the assistance of a walker though. She and I were the only ones
in her new space at this point, and when I glanced over, and saw her sitting there, in the sunshine,
looking out the window, I grabbed my phone and snapped.  I didn't look at the photo again until
 much later in the day, when I finally did,  I totally broke down.  I can only imagine all the thoughts
and feelings going on inside this very, very strong, independent lady.  For us, getting her into a more
suitable, friendly space among others has been such a relief, but it's been a tough journey for all.
