Day 256 - Rest in Peace My Darling Sister

7/15/2014

3 Comments

 
It's Tuesday morning, I'm getting ready for my flight to head back to Texas to spend the last few hours/days with my sister, I was in the bathroom putting on makeup when my cell phone rang.
It was my niece.
I knew.
I just knew. 

Rewind:  After getting back to Colorado Monday evening my niece called and told me my sister was bad.  She ask me if I wanted to talk to her.  I did.  I spoke, she said nothing.  I cried and told her how much I loved her and that if she needed to go before I got there that it was OK. I wanted her to be at peace.  I promised to love Charlie and Stacy like they were my own. 
When Stacy took the phone back she was in tears and said my sister was trying to answer me, but couldn't form words.
My heart was broken and I prayed that I would make it back in time.

Back to Tuesday morning:
I picked up the phone and said "She's gone isn't she?"
My niece cried and told me her story.
I couldn't understand a word of what she was saying and I just cried with her.

That flight back to Texas was the hardest flight of my life.

I took no pictures on this day.

    Project 365

    Am I insane?  Have I lost my mind?  After thinking long and hard about it (OK, really I only thought about it for about 12 hours) I just committed to doing a photo a day for a year - a 365 'they' call it.  This is going to be SUPER HARD for me. Not the photo part, but the editing part. I mean you guys KNOW how far behind I am.  A photo a day - that doesn't sound like much, but in reality, who are we kidding?  Anyway  I'm going to TRY to post each day, but there will be times I might be MIA for a couple of days, just bear with me and I will catch up.

    One of my goals throughout this 365 is to be able to shoot anything I want to in manual. The next is to have fun capturing this next crazy year of our life. In the next 365 you will see: at least 2 more countries, a HS graduation, an international move to most likely 2 different states, the heartbreak of a mom as she sends her first born off to college and so much more....

    Please make sure you cheer me on after all I am a "Words of Affirmation" girl. :o)
