She always gives and hardly ever takes.
And yet someone took from her. They took away her way of living. They took away her ability to make memories. They took something that belonged to her.
A stranger decided on a certain day to have sticky fingers. The temptation was just too great for them. And they just couldn't walk away from it.
On the last wedding that my Mom was taking pictures at someone stole her camera body.
She has searched high and low for it the following day. She thought that maybe she had just misplaced it. Put it down somewhere that she didn't remember. She went through the days events time and time again trying to figure out where she had put it. She really didn't want to believe that someone had took it. But unfortunately that is what had happened.
She has always been there to capture the memories. She had been there for my son's birth and captured the first moments of his life. Has been there when someone proposed. Has been there for countless weddings. Pictures of extended family visiting from far away. taken pictures of a friends dog before crossing over the rainbow bridge. And just simply everyday life pictures.
I know the pictures from the recent wedding are irreplaceable, but I would love to be able to help her make new pictures. 
The expense is too great for myself to take on, so I am asking for help. Any amount would help. Nothing is too small.
