Earlier today, 5th April 2015 she slipped away to find at last rest and peace that eluded her for the most of her 90 years.
As a teenager growing up in Nazi occupied Greece she joined the Resistance from early on. It was then that she met the man that she would later spend the rest of her life with. This young man from a small village in Cyprus who had left his father’s sheep and goats and rallied to fight for the liberty of the mother country found himself abandoned by the Allies when they retreated from Greece. Fearful for his life in a strange land this corporal in the Cyprus Regiment found refuge with a brave family at Pyri in Thebes; my mother’s uncle.
Months later, this safe haven was betrayed and the young corporal was captured by the Italians and was sent to a prisoner of war camp in Italy from where he would eventually escape and spend the rest of the War in Switzerland.
In the meantime, with the capitulation of the Nazis the young lady in Thebes found that the group she was struggling with in the Occupation was now considered enemy of the state. Fearing for her life, she was smuggled out of Greece with a false passport. She turned to the only man she knew outside of Greece and they were soon married.
Village life in Cyprus in the 40's and 50's was hard but this young lady's life was made harder by the locals' prejudices. It was not long before her kindness warmed everyone to her. She formed a kind of finishing school at our house and taught all the young girls of the village arts and crafts; a generation grew up equipped with skills and knowledge for which they are always grateful. Whenever I return to the village the first thing they ask me is “How is Kyria Yioula? She is the most wonderful person, she taught us all…”, “Yes, yes, I know, she sends her regards..”
Life in London in the 60’s was not easy for immigrants, a whole life spent as a foreigner in foreign lands. She struggled with work well below her capacity and as a seamstress working for 12-15 hours a day, every day she made sure that we were not short of anything. Happy that her three children had made it through university and settled with good jobs she should have been rewarded with a more comfortable life.
Soon after my father passed away she developed dementia and as the dreaded disease took its hold deeper and deeper, her oldest son, my beloved brother passed away from cancer. On his deathbed he made me promise that our mother would never find out. I carried on this lie for five years, grateful that her short memory span didn’t betray the terrible secret I kept from her.
The most devoted, dearest Mother, rest in peace.

This was another happy accident of color manipulation.
This was supposed to be a sea dragon (very loosely similar to the leafy variety of sea horse) ... But i could not manage an under-water environment, so i gave the sea dragon (Arthur) a space environment instead. We work with what we've got.
Started with "Fluid", then ProCreate application with default "brushes". Copyright 13Nov2021 by Truthful Kindness.

This art project began as a tool to cope with grief when losing another ability due to progress of dementia symptoms.
I remember this began with a tangle pattern, but do not find the pattern in my workbook, so i guess i created it out of my head.
Outlined this pattern 22Apr2018, … with teardrops when i realized that i was nearing the end of being able to use my “nevel” harp, because i was losing ability to tune the instrument. (Tremors symptom from vascular and Lewy Body Dementia symptoms). No longer able to use my Nevel Harp.
Bittersweet. With acquisition of iPad and digital tools i was able to add color 3yrs later, then maneuver the color with “Liquid” tools in ProCreate. No spilling !!!
— Truthful Kindness (i have a 2014 YouTube video with nevel harp as tool for nocturnal hallucinations as symptom of Lewy Body Dementia). easily found with search terms "truthfulkindness" and "nevel" or "nevel harp" on YouTube.
Coffee in hand and just a tad past five AM, I sit in the comfort of my edit desk this morning downloading some 752 photos from this years Juniper Club fishing trip. As the thumbnails populate the screen, I am overwhelmed by the number of blessings received. In many cases while there on location and in the moment, I had no idea if I had captured the shot or not. Distractions including the heat, the breeze that just disappeared, the dozens of chigger bites on my feet and ankles, the unknown thing crawling on the back of my neck, the rocking of the boat and even the oversized breakfast consumed were all front of the mind issues! It is now while editing that I can offer 95% focus on beauty captured…the chiggers are still receiving the remaining 5.
One of the many blessings offered at the Juniper Club is the active bombing range on Lake George. The lake is 6 miles wide and 11 miles long making it Florida’s second largest lake. The range is on the other side of the lake, but the planes and helicopters often maintain the lowest of altitudes and fly right over Silver Glen. This week was a little different.
I had just returned from a photo trip along the north western shores of the lake when I heard the roar of jet engines closing in fast. As in many of my blessings captured, I had my camera already in my hands. I assumed they were the Air Guard jets that I photographed a year ago, so I wasn’t overly excited. Then a friend hollered that they were A-10’s…this had me doing double time up the small hill and out in the front yard of the clubhouse. I had no idea at that time that the perfect location had been selected!
Extending my monopod as quickly as possible, and adjusting my camera settings for the fastest of action, I only had a second or two to spare as the two jets came back into view. Having no idea of their intended flight path, I started taking shots as they began circling back for another pass. I adjusted my feet and hands to provide the best possible stability and took in my last breath before they cleared the trees for a pass over Silver Glen.
As often happens, I assumed wrong. As the first A10 cleared the trees it wasn’t over the glen…it had adjusted its flight path, while dipping its nose as if it was using the clubhouse for targeting. When the sun reflected the top of the plane’s wings, in an instant I knew that I was capturing a view that few had ever seen…looking directly into the 30mm barrel of an A10 in flight…and living to tell about it!
Adventure before dementia!

Digital art to go with a blog entry for pages with writings from my dementia friends during February. Used several special tools in ProCreate application on this, along with the standard "stabilizing" tool that allows me to draw and write despite extreme tremors. Finished 06Feb2021 .
dad was in good spirits this weekend... hugging us all... helping me BBQ... singing happy birthday to my mom and gobbling down a huge piece of texas sheet cake... he brightened up even more when i brought out my camera... he'll strike this real serious pose and then... after every shot, he runs over all excited to see the photo displayed on the camera... sometimes he says... "who's that old man?" but this time he surprised me... he liked this particular shot... a lot...
Shot so many angles for this and this is the only one that turned out 'decent'. I left my 18-55 kit lens with my mom and now I only have a 40mm, 50mm, and fisheye..
I've needed something shorter so many times now that I don't have it :(

My dad passed away tonight... peacefully... from old age... he was pushing 92... And for now I can say this about my dad... He loved his family, sweeping that back porch and Schlitz beer... A few years ago before the dementia stole his words, dad told me that he did not fear death... He looked forward to seeing his parents and his siblings again... I'm certain there will be one wild Greek party tonight...
i loved embroidery ever since high school. Love Digital art tools to look like embroidery, since my tremors prevent fine work with my hands. Very much use the stabilizing tool in ProCreate application. Made for a dementia friend in his 16th year after Alzheimer's diagnosis.
Hacerse fotos en los espejos es un clásico desde que hacer fotos es
gratis. No sé por qué, pero esta me desconcierta especialmente.
3-Generation photo taken 19Sep2004. This was the first time i shaved my head and gave the hair to Locks of Love.
Grammy's dementia had developed to the point that Mom had provided-live-in care for the past several years. Spending time with Mom and Grammy emphasized to me that "Relationship is almost always the higher priority".
And my dementia SYMPTOMS were becoming an issue (lost job, driver's license, etc). i had not yet discovered the online peer groups like Dementia Mentors.
