That is why I really wanted to capture the stories on video, so I could have them long after she was gone.<br /><br />But you are right. As a writer it's up to me to bring those stories alive on the pages of a book.Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-20095929781937086602011-11-24T13:50:01.680-05:002011-11-24T13:50:01.680-05:00Happy Thanksgiving, Jewel.
I know I've been ...Happy Thanksgiving, Jewel. <br /><br />I know I've been in denial about my mother's aging and the effect this is having on her memory. It's very difficult to come to terms with, and has made me poignantly aware that when she goes, a wealth of knowledge and history will go with her. Lately I'm listening attentively to her reminiscences and thinking of ways to incorporate them in my writing, whereas before I would grow impatient because I'd heard it all so many times before.<br /><br />'Procrastinator' could be my middle name; it's an issue I struggle with <i>all</i> the time. Now that I'm so keenly aware of mortality, my own included, I'm making every effort to change this old, bad habit of mine.<br /><br />Even though your mom is forgetting the stories, you remember them. And you're a writer. They won't be lost.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-40418011528221963662011-11-24T10:54:37.709-05:002011-11-24T10:54:37.709-05:00I'm sorry to hear that about your mom.
