  3. The first photos are the ones to cherish and to remember. It is so sad that your Mum has deteriorated so quickly although she still has her lovely smile.

  6. Wow, there really is such a huge change in a year. Really, until you look back at photos or any other form of documentation, you don't realise how big of a change there is in them, do you? Same thing happened with my Grandma a few weeks ago and it was pretty eye-opening to see the difference. *hugs*
