Nancy and I went to visit her dad last Friday. When we go we try to time our arrival with the arrival of his dinner so we can help him eat. Pops slept the entire time we were there. Nancy thinks he’s been staying up most nights and is so tired he sleeps throughout the day.The
The only time he would appear awake was when Nancy placed a straw between his lips. It was like a Pavlonian response. The minute he sensed the straw he began to suck. The doctors said it made no difference if he ate solid foods again as long as he consumed the two small bottles of fortified milk they provide at each meal as it contains more than enough vitamins to keep his weight normal.
I really love this black and white shot. For me there is nothing better than black and white to capture the true emotion of a photograph.
Occasionally Pops would wake long enough that Nancy could spoon feed him.

I also like the black and white photograph. To me, he appears at peace with the world around him. It is amazing if we take the time, what good photographs such as yours, are able to demonstrate. I enjoy seeing your pictures and reading your blog.
