jeremy marcel , Special summer Visit (December theme: Summer)

Special Summer Visit. Visited my mother at Wollongong elderly mental health at the start of summer. Mum was diagnosed with schizophrenia. It has been the start of an amazing summer for my mother, who is 69, and myself 40 years old. I have enjoyed seeing her as the person she is with my own eyes. Vulnerable, kind, and generous. Coming close to Christmas this has been a really special gift for me. After I brought her special tea and a tea strainer, the nurse checked all my mother's bags. Her belongings were safely stored in her room's wardrobe. This is humanity at its finest. A vulnerable woman in the care of a loving and kind health professional. At the angle at which I took this photo, I was respecting their privacy. I was able to get a good shot of taking a reflection of them in the mirror abstract photograph.
