Random Camera Roll Photo of the Day
Day 2
June 2021 Family Trip
My brother, mom and I had just spent several days in the Black Hills of South Dakota with family before heading off ona our first trip together in over a decade.
Lil bro and I had never been to Yellowstone and Mom and had been as a child. So we planned it on a 30 min video call several months before.
Little did we know that it would be our last family trip, and thst less than 2 years later Mom would be gone, a cancer statistic. A non-smoker diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and gone within 2 weeks.
This photo is bittersweet. A great memory so close to such an unexpected and painful loss. I look at the three of us and how alike we all are - our similar features and even the traits that aren't visible.
As we age we inevitably become like.our parents whether we want to or not. I can truthfully say now that it makes me happy when I notice myself doing things my mom did. I love that my crazy cackling laugh is so similar to hers, that when I sneeze hard it sounds just like her, and I'm even growing to appreciate my tiny nose because I got it from her.

Random Camera Roll Photo of the Day (Day 1)
Ok, this is a little boring. This is my baby grand piano that I'd had since I was 7 that I donated at the end of 2023 after the loss of my mom. Morbid way to start this off! At least it's benefitting a local middle school choir now.

Random Camera Roll Pic of the Day
Day 3
A much happier photo in comparison to yesterday's!
Taken from the flat during my 2015 London trip, my Aussie friends deemed this photo "The Kitchen Fairy".
Damn I miss London (and my intl friends).
