one year ago....


A year seems to be less and less time to me as I get older. I once was told by a client that the older you get the smaller percentage of your life a year is therefore making it seem like a shorter amount of time. I don't know if that is true but it makes sense to me.








The past 12 months have been a roller coaster ride for me and my family. Today marks the one year anniversary since we lost our Obosan. While she is no longer a daily thought and the pain of the loss doesn't consume my mind and body anymore the sense of loss is still strong. My heart still aches and I am reminded of her at the most unexpected times. She was the matriarch of our family and we are all changed with out her but better for having known her.




Obosan, Aunt Amy, Dad, Aunt Martha

There are so many more pictures. The reoccurring theme is her smiling with children and family. I hope that is my theme when all of my pictures are being sorted through.

  1. I was just telling someone that the other day -how the older you get, a few years is such a small amount of time in comparison to the years you've lived. That first picture looks like you and Syd :)

  3. Your Obasan was an amazing woman who left an awesome legacy for all of her beautiful daughters, granddaughters, and great granddaughters. Treasure it!
