My wife's grandmother (or Baci). She will be 95 in 2 weeks. She has advanced Alzheimer's but when we visit with the boys she lights up like a Christmas Tree. Here she was watching my youngest son play with a small toy.

We are happy to bring her a bit of joy to the dark world in which she now lives.

Shot with a bounce flash. Edited by cropping slightly, increase saturation (blues and cyans), minor cloning.
