www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Mark-Butler39?fbclid=IwAR3... The Just Giving page - I'm trying to share the link everywhere I can for mum. We're taking part in the memory walk in September at Sutton Coldfield and trying to raise what we can for the Alzheimers Society to help people with alzheimers and all forms of dementia. Mum had alzheimers before sadly passing away on 3rd June 2019. We're doing the walk, and raising what we can in memory of mum.
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.

Will be offline for a while, mother has fractured her femur/hip, she's 80 and has vascular-dementia so its not looking good.
Sadly, my Mum and Step Farther both suffered with Dementia before they passed away. It's a truly awful disease.
Dementia is a syndrome, or a collection of symptoms, characterized by a decline in cognitive functions like thinking, remembering, and reasoning. It's not a single disease, but rather an umbrella term for various conditions that impact the brain and lead to these cognitive impairments. Dementia is progressive, meaning symptoms worsen over time, and it can affect various aspects of a person's life, including their ability to perform daily tasks, communicate, and manage emotions

Adventure before dementia...time to start planning our next adventure!
"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today." ~Dale Carnegie

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 .
my dad was 20 in this picture... he served in WWII in the pacific as a member of the us army air corp which would eventually become the us air force.... in the pacific, he was the flight engineer on a b29... i believe he is pictured here with a b17... handsome young fellow too...
when ant and i visited him this weekend, he was in grand spirits... he talked to ant about school... the importance of an education.... good stuff... sometimes that sharp young man still shows himself...
see this set for my dad's story...
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 :(

PLEASE, follow me on:
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...

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.
Yesterday was my final consultation with Dr Brown at St Martins Canterbury. Here all my blood, scan and assessment results were bought together and the definitive diagnosis explained to Melanie and myself, that of Dementia. Hit hard with all the implications and support, progression and referrals I have been given. The good new's we can take from this is now we know and we can move forward. We are already well on the way to Dementia prepare our lives with the move and other actions taken over the past year. Dr Brown has referred me to the world leading Addenbrookes Hospital Cognitive Disorders Clinic already and my new GP in Suffolk have been so proactive. So there we are, taking each day as it comes......
