3. That made me cry.

That poor, dear woman.

4. Sad and lovely. Her movements were still so graceful.

8. That was the first thing I noticed, too. Still so graceful.

5. It brings back painful memories

of my mother who died of the terrible disease. She was a very smart woman who remained physically healthy while her brain rotted away.

6. How lovely and soul wrenching

7. Once a ballerina, always so

I never reached her level but when I extend my arms I still have my middle finger lowered. Part of your training that never disappears.

God bless her — she is gorgeous!!

9. Beautiful!
