8/19/2010

When something tragic happens to someone you love it is very easy to make yourself ignore the signs and focus on the good. It was made even easier this week because my grandma was having a great couple of days. She was starting to drive herself places and go through the entire day without a nap. My grandma has helped me to appreciate my health, something I take for granted. Realizing how fortunate I am and the little things in life is an important message I've learned from my grandma. My grandma has been amazing through this entire process. I don't know how she's managed to stay so positive, it's easier for me to look on the bright side. This picture put a little dim on my bright side. This angle makes my grandma look so fragile and weak. This picture honestly scares me. Her arms and legs do not look healthy. This picture was an unwelcome wake-up call. I hate looking at it, but it makes me marvel about the power of photography. This photo evokes so much emotion and if I hadn't taken this picture the emotions I'm feeling would not have been as strong.
