It is strange because on one hand, you want to do/say/share/ask because time is limited. On the other hand, you don't want to disrupt what is...it's like to alter your behavior would be an admission of defeat or as if the times before had not been good enough and now we're getting "serious."

My family was never very affectionate either. Now that all of us are grown and out of the house, my mom has reached a stage where she regrets not taking more pictures. I don't have any of just me and my dad. I wish I did. I totally understand that. My family was never very affectionate either.

When my Aunt died, we could find no pictures of her with the kids because she was always the picture-taker. I made a point at family gatherings to try to get some candid shots of my mom with the kids and my brothers. I treasure them now that she's gone, as hard as it was taking them knowing how ill she was. Take the pictures as hard as it might be at times.

What I really want to know is why is your mom patting your daughter's behind in this shot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/danleone/2057320330/in/photostream/ *You know how I really feel on the topic of parents and illness. No need to wear my heart on my sleeve every day, right? Okay, okay... cherish the photos. Who cares why you're taking them? Just take them. I swear to you the "why" won't matter someday.

It's so easy to snuggle with them. I'm surprised that you said that about your family because you all look very comfortable. My father's side of the family has always had a hard time expressing affection. (My Mom's side consists of the huggers and laughers.) But I see my father trying very hard with my kids to show love, which is not easy for him. Good luck! You are all in my thoughts. BTW, I think you look handsome. Not at all pit bull-like!
