I’ve done some housekeeping as it relates to the mini-documentaries I’m creating which share family stories as told by my Mother. The mini-documentaries now have a semi-permanent home on offshoot blog from Brand Autopsy. You can access the As Told By GLENNA MOORE blog here. The graphic button on the upper-right hand of this blog has been updated and linked accordingly.
For those unaware ... my Mother, Glenna Moore, was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The disease has been progressing as expected. The creeping paralysis has made her legs useless, her speech has become very weak and strained, and she is having greater difficulty breathing.
Fortunately, I sat down with my mother in August 2006 and recorded her telling stories while she shared family photos with me. I’m turning her stories and photos into mini-documentaries which will be shared here and on the As Told By GLENNA MOORE blog. For more of the backstory … go here. You can view the first mini-doc here and view the second mini-doc here.
Over the Christmas break, I put together the third mini-documentary in the series. This short video shares the story of an incomplete poem my Father first began writing to my Mother in the early 70s. My Father titled the poem — The Summer of ’62 — because it was June of 1962 when Glenna Keith Coffey married William Alvin Moore Jr.
The poem traces the shared life they’ve lived together. Through the years, my Father has periodically updated the poem to add new verses to reflect new shared experiences. It’s an incomplete poem because they are still sharing wonderful life experiences together as husband and wife. Enjoy.
