Videos of Carolyn

Carolyn's health continues to gradually decline. After I wrote that last blog post, her health seemed to take some harder turns. Her nausea continues to increase and throwing up in the mornings is becoming a norm. Her leg muscles are also weakening making it harder for her to go up and down stairs. It won't be long before I'll need to be home with her full-time.

I've felt a sense of urgency in capturing her in videos so that we will be able to always easily remember her smile, her laugh, her voice ... but capturing videos isn't as easy as it looks. Candid is only interesting for a short while before your attention span is distracted. Canned videos are difficult because it's hard to come up with specific topics and you feel put on the spot. Also, she is in her PJs most of the time lately and therefore doesn't want to be videotaped. But the times where she has normal clothes on are fewer and further inbetween.

Nonetheless, I have captured a few videos over the last couple of years. I've uploaded some of them to YouTube under a playlist and will continue to add to it as time goes on. I've put them in order by length of video instead of by time. So the shorter ones are first and then move towards the longest ones. That way if you want to see her in different elements, you can do so quickly. Enjoy!
