Mom was having a really good night last night and I could tell she was interested in looking at my AYOA sketchbook while I worked on it so I gave it to her. She took it back to the first page and was going through it page by page, stopping and running her fingers over the pages. I knew she didn't know what to make of some of the art - strange stuff - she looked puzzled. In these 3 photos - the first one she didn't know I was taking her picture and the second one she looked up and was smiling at me like, you funny person, you caught me! And in the 3rd she went back to looking at it again. She got about half the way through it and then was trying to say something to me - but no words came out, she just moved her lips a little. I said - what? - say it! So she looked at the clock - I said do you want to go to bed? Are you tired? She nodded. That's the way it is - barely any words ever anymore but still thoughts...
