December 23, 2007:

We sat together at the computer, searching for the movies she'd loved in her life.

Working from her list: ball point in a miniature notebook, in her spidery hand.

Her excitement when we'd find one. Her disappointment if that particular title was not yet available on DVD.

Sweet moments of bonding, late in her life.

Now I sit with her old cat on my lap, in front of a different computer, listing her movies for auction on eBay.

I hope they go to homes which will enjoy them.
