Today’s blogtober prompt, keeping to a musical theme is Picture of You. My immediate thoughts went to Boyzone, but then I remembered The Cure and Pictures of You. The song that will break the heart of anyone who has ever lost a loved one.
A Picture of Me
Over the past few years I’ve tried to be more in front of the camera than behind it. When you have a illness that no-one really knows much about you do start to think about your own mortality and photos are a great way of helping loved ones remember you. So, I’m going to spam you all now with pictures of me.
One More For the Road!
I love this caricature of me taken from a photo of me in my wheelchair by Charlene from Sooper Books. She took away the handbag from my lap and gave me a butterfly instead.
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
The Cure, Pictures of You
I hate being in photos, but they are such a great way of capturing the essence of a person and a lovely gift to hold on to when that person is no longer around. It really doesn’t matter how photogenic (or not) you are.
I hope that my photos have captured lots of lovely memories for my family.

I am loving todays theme and seeing the person behind the blog, although I did not stick to the topic today. We have not tried the beach wheelchairs yet but they look great hopefully will get a chance next year
beach wheelchairs are great, but once in them you are stuck….My husband went off to explore and I was stuck in one place for over an hour. It was good to be able to get near the sea though. I’ve not had chance to do that for years.
What wonderful photos of you! It’s nice to see all of your family too x
