people places n things
After all the time and energy I expended by mom's side during her illness, I expended even more after she passed away, handling all her affairs, and physically and emotionally I was just completely spent. I had no desire to bring my camera to the funeral and taking pictures, though several others did. But when we got back home after the funeral sunday night, I looked at all the family photo's again, I was really impressed how they covered every facet of our lives together, births, anniversaries, holidays and deaths. At funerals and cemeteries. And it was brought sharply into focus in my mind that recording all the emotional moments we shared with our loved ones, whether happy or bitter was an important way to honor and remember all the ways our family and friends affected our lives. And so the next day at the funeral home as we went inside to pay mom our last respects, I recorded just two images for posterity. One of my godmother saying her goodbyes to mom, and this one here of my uncle remembering the lifetime of memories he shared with his beloved sister.
