Anna, you already know I have been sending you virtual hugs from across the country. I so wish we lived closer so I could have been there to help out. The year following my mom’s passing is a blur in my mind (dad had already been gone for 15 years at that point). I feel like I got nothing done that year except for clean out and sell her house, and you know what? That’s enough. I remember though in that time I also went on my first photography workshop (5 days of shooting in NYC), which in retrospect helped bring me back to what I enjoy and also helped lead me into my future. I really hope you get to do some of the things now that you had to defer while taking care of your dad. You are a phenomenal daughter and person, and you deserve to experience all the peace and joy! This time will get easier, if never truly easy. And hey, let me know if you want to go on a photo adventure together!
