Gabriela came today to sit with Joan and to give me a break taking care of Joan.
My only goal today was to go to Sowas and show them the picture I took yesterday. Luckily, Monika, the manager, was there and I showed it to her. She asked if I would send it in an email also. Of the three ladies I photographed yesterday, only Ania was there. I asked her for the email address and she was happy to give it to me.
I spent an hour at home showing Gabriela all the pictures I took years ago when my 10-year-old son and I built my house in the forest. It was nice to see them again and remind myself what an accomplishment that was. I know it is something Eric also never forgot. It was only my love for Joan that made me eventually sell it and move back to the Chicago area. 3 years without her by my side was more than I could handle.
