You Oughta Be In Pictures!

Laugh till you cry they say.

On most days, it is very hard for Mom to stand up straight, to raise her head above her shoulders taking into view the rest of the world and all who love her. She is a vision of a loving little lady, bent over, working to advance from one place to another.
I nag her somewhat to stand up straight and lift her head, as I miss seeing her face and a couple of times I have bopped her in the head with my elbow when putting her pants on.
See her head is down, she is sitting, I'm reaching down in front of her pulling her pants on, leg by leg....you get the picture right..my elbow comes up and BOP! Hey, she smiles right after saying ouch, letting me know she felt that whack on the forehead.
Last night, sitting on the edge of her bed so I could get her into her pajamas, I asked her again, to please try hard to sit up straight and put her head up. I wanted to see her face and I very much wanted her to be able to see me. She would never see my face again, unless she lifted hers up.
Well, I guess she took my request literally and with much emphasis as just then, she raised up her face, framed with her fingers in an L shape on each side. Hysterical! Yes, I could not contain my joy and laughter. She was holding her head up and showing me her face alright! Even framing it for me so that I wouldn't miss it!
I couldn't stop laughing. My face hurt when I went to bed from smiling so long.
Leave it to my mama to elaborate on a simple request like "please lift up your head." It was a Kodak moment!
