missing

i've been missing my grandma immensely since the lombok trip, and my husband said "try to remember that she'd like you to be happy, and that she's in a better place now." i couldn't begin to imagine what he went through when he lost his father when he was just 9 years old, then losing his mother to cancer 10 years later. just thinking about the possibility of my parents dying makes my heart ache.

a walk with him

i love that i have a photograph of me walking with mom, and a separate one walking with my dad. in a way, my mom is still in this one, represented by my red coat. :)



note: i couldn't open the frame to properly scan the photo cos it's old and stuck, hence the scanned frame.
