I found this pic in a stack of pictures on her desk after her passing.  She sits content for this snap on her swing that has long rusted and the bench has rusted and fallen appart.  There's more to the story.  In the stack of pics I found this snap, are pics of what was meaningful to mom.  There were her dogs, Buster 1 or maybe it was Buster 2, along with 2 or 3 other dogs she cared for.  All strays abandoned and nursed back to health.  Pics apparently taken in the autumn.  Pics of trees and the river behind her home.  

Ironically enough, that same swing set no longer has the bench.  It's long rusted fallen appart.  Instead today, as I look to see where it has gone, hanging from the chains is the plaque, "The Refuge".  With it are two bird housed hanging and a bird bath in the middle still with water probably from the rain last night.

Love you mom!  May your place be honored with your wishes, somehow by G-d's grace and mercy for us all.  Amen and amen...
