Looking through these pictures was hard, this was before the illness, this was when Paola was going to college and I was working on computer, some of these pictures are in our first house (a terrace house very drafty but all we could afford the rent on), other pictures are at my Mums old house, quality of the pictures are not great but I wanted a record.
You can tell the ones from our Vampire the Masquerade live action roleplay style and yes that black blob next to us is Zoe the first pet we had together.
The following pictures are from our wedding (we had no real photographer having to set it all up within 24 hours once the hospital okayed it).
Paola is wearing a nightdress and the scarf hides the hickman line (a central line for medication and treatment).
Our first computers, the first two computers I built this was when we got home from primary treatments.
Next to each other with the galley kitchen door in between, I think the game she is playing is Fallout 1/2 the hud at the bottom looks familiar, I remember her Dungeon Keeper mouse mat, always made sure she had the bigger table, mine had the 56k modem on top, always kept my pc clutter free lol, she was always writing and jotting down ideas. I still have all those toys.
Pictures from our first house.
Her hair never really grew back after the full body irradiation, and here she was planning and crafting Christmas cards for people, now and then she had a weekend off from treatment.
