CameraShy Week 21: Flash

 

This week went by in a flash, which is why I'm a day behind. I wanted to wait though, because I wanted this to be my theme.

 

Gone in a "flash."

 

On Tuesday May 27, 2014 my Mom was killed in a car accident. Of course it was unexpected, shocking, and still not quite real. Today we had her funeral. I shouldn't be burying my 59 year old mother at only 31, but sometimes life doesn't give you what you should get.

We pass car accidents almost everyday but do we ever really think about the people involved? I do now. No one was impaired, it was just truly a tragic accident.

Life can be here and gone in the flash of the eye. Think about that as you spend time with your immediate family and any time you touch base with those you love. Make sure you don't hold grudges, don't leave things unresolved, and make sure that they know exactly how much you love them.
 

By far it's not the best picture I've ever taken, but this week it doesn't matter.
