Self Portrait Challenge- As a ?
.0.jpg)
WOMAN HOLDING ON
I am fascinated by hands. As my hands slowly get weaker I realize how precious they are. If I must loose the use of my body, I am grateful it's a slow process so I can really prepare and appreciate the smallest of movements. I can still grip a steering wheel to drive and yet I have no pinchers to pull up my pants, or button a shirt. I can't pick up my grandson, but I can hold him, touch him and hug him. I know I will someday only be able to love with my eyes, but that is still a powerful way to express love. To touch those we love in any way possible is worth living for. This is a portrait of me just savoring the joy of holding on.

Love the picture, love your posts. This one was particularly moving. I also thought your Haiga was nice, and the picture, tho'not particularly meant to illustrate the poem, was perfect.
You inspire me.
This photo is truly amazing...so beautiful! I know, with no doubts, that your love will always flow freely...whether through your hands, your eyes, or your words. You are a beautiful woman, emanating love!
I love you,

Wow. It made me well up. I'm a hormonal emotional mess and I come here and cry. It's a great photo. Everyday you amaze me Tammy.
"To touch those we love in any way possible is worth living for." This just says it all Tammy. I am so glad to call you FRIEND.
I've wanted to comment on all of your latest offerings here, but this image really spoke to me with your reflections on what it means to you. Very powerful stuff...
You're so right, Tammy. The eyes show all the love and beauty of the person. Thank you for this beautiful post.

This photo is gorgeous, i mean really perfect.
And you are right about the eyes. I remember my mothers touch, yes, but the love in her eyes will never ever fade...ever.
It was all right there in her eyes.
Tammy, this brought a tear.
