Windows

I know that I published the old picture of my sister and her first daughter not so long ago (seems like 9 months).

But these are the best I could find in a hurry.

The eyes are what stand out.
Today, like an answer to a prayer, Leonor's eyes opened again. Not much, not for long.
But the message to the lymphoma was: "As voracious and agressive as you are, as gravely ill as I am, you are not having it all your own way!"
It was a comfort. Her "Night night" was also stronger, but it is only recognisable by those who know. She has only one vowel sound left, no consonants. But that "Agh-Agh" was still unmistakeable as a cognitive response.
Now, I am going to ask you to go straight to my dear friend, Marjan at http://afotografia.blogspot.com, because I know she won't mind me telling you that she has done a much better job than I ever could with the eyes of her Supermodels today. Those pictures say it all.

Nice pictures, outstanding eyes. I'm glad she still has fight in her, to go on her own terms.

Hola Pilar, creyes que haja rivalidade entre amistad e plata? Para mi, amistad ES prata, oro e mucho más. Plus que sûr, j'ai la preuve que c'est vrai!
Y hemos escuchado Duerme Negrito entre otras hoy en el carro!
Cantorouco (porqué esta identidade??)estou chateado, até triste; te deixei um comentário hoje sobre o mais que um prazer, visitar o teu blog, o que é na minha opinião o melhor do todos os fotoblogs sobre Portugal, com a música e as poemas lindíssimas que accompanham as tuas imagens que têm uma grande qualidade. Não apareceu! E Palácios Confusos é um metáforo muito adequado para este país que não tem par! I love it,really I do!
Marjan, i made a project in colouir and B/W of this poster that was all over the city last year. i loved it so much that I spent a weekend shooting her in places all over the city. The colour one here, which I titled "More Women in Parliament", was edited for this post. I thought the full pic. was not appropriate, but I will mail you some of the best. It was a great project.
Neo, if you read Sunday's, yes, you'll see just how muchshe is fighting. More than the medical staff, bless her!
