Fabulous!
Proving that a picture is worth more than all the words said on the subject
here so far.
I've no idea what the last picture of my dad may be. It was sudden and 25 years
ago.
This is my last image of my mom, on her 86th. birthday, in the rehab hospital.
I like it because she was on the mend and
having a good time talking to my ex, who had stopped by for her birthday.
She went home, had the broken tooth fixed, was starting to get around better on
her second new knee, but died a month
later, relatively unexpectedly.

It so much depends on the persons involved. My brother was happy to give
death's head smile/grimaces while posing with
family members as his partner took pics. Weird, scary pics of his last
afternoon ... I much prefer earlier memories of
our times together.

I don't care! I won't have to look at 'em. :-)
