Now I'm going to put a photograph here of her when she was a lighting person. And you can see she's wearing those heavy gloves because those lights were very hot. And later on she became a model. And then I showed up and messed up the whole thing and she became a mom. But she encouraged me as a child to be creative. She helped me set up a dark room, which was her idea. She knew about how to process film
And, I mean, she supported you, it sounds like, and encouraged you to do things that developed your artistic skills, and I think that's a really valuable thing for a parent to push you towards. I'm also a photographer and my parents always supported me in my arts and whatever. I want my creative outlets, I guess you could say. And it's turned out really well for me. So I'm happy to hear that despite the potential unexpected challenges, your mom still supported you
Hi, Richard. Thank you for sharing that story about your mother. Beautiful woman, wonderful story. And I enjoyed listening to you reflect on how much you loved her and she impacted you, your love, your artistic side. So that's beautiful to see. I also love names, and. Wow, she had a beautiful name. Love. So I just. That's beautiful right here. So thank you for sharing that

Well, thank you for the nice comment. That's really, really terrific. I'm finding this is kind of a fun thing to do here on swell, because I get to meet nice people like yourself. Anyway, I also wanted to mention that my mother's father would have been my grandfather, but I never had an opportunity to meet him. His name was Richard Temple Love. And I thought that was really a nice name
Hi Richard. That's actually an amazing name. So I love names. So I'll put up Richard name, which is your name, and your grandfather's name, which you see, it means strong, a deep thinker, independent, enchanting, wise, and unconventional. We already know what the temple in love means, so thanks for sharing. I like you. I'm also enjoying swelling more than I thought I would and it was just great connecting, so keep it up
