Hi!

I recently posted some pictures of my hcp daughter on the general discussion area here. Fairly new to DU but wanted to share my joy of my life. CaliforniaPeggy mentioned in response to that post about this group, so I thought I would stop and say hi and share my favorite pic of Tess.
Unfortunately, the pic comes with a short tale, Tess loves camping and water above all (except her mom and dad, lol ) We hooked up camper after she went to sleep, I put her in truck at 2AM and she never woke. We went from Tn. to Myrtle Beach and straight to the ocean at campground rather than to our site and setting up. I carried Tess(still asleep) to the beach, then opened camera on my phone.
This was pic #3 out of about 25 I snapped. Maybe because of my heart for her, but I have only seen Joy like this less than 20 times in my 60 years on this planet. I blew it up to one of those"motivational posters" that were all the rage in my working days and it hangs in our den with these words printed below; "PURE JOY! Don't we all need some?"
Thanks for indulging, Pics of Tess are daily and never know when the great ones happen. I will sign off as,,

Feeling blessed

It was a great life moment for me, I didn't, and maybe in the future I will find courage. To post the picture that Mom took later where Tess and her Golden Retriever Service Dog,Choxie, are covering Dad in sand. I call that picture, "Dad's Hell in the shower POST JOY" /snark off

Tess lives,,there will be pics. I hope all who read my posts can feel my love and pride for her. I will fight for what I have, and Mom says the same,, my kids. This population is a joy! please volunteer for them!
I also have the dark side,, I cannot imagine who I will be when I lose Tess. My greatest fear in life,,even beyond this President and country I served.

Because I read that child died without seeing their parents again. I apologize in the photo group. But still, it could hve been this girl if they had their way. First immigrants,then SSI receipts are next,,where does it stop until the 1% gets all?
