I haven’t lost a lot of very close people in my life.
While we're here, we really should take the chance to photograph those we love. I mean it. Really sit them down, and focus a moment on their being.
I write this because I've just returned from visiting my Grandparents in Stratford, Ontario.
<abridged> We never saw each other much growing up on opposite ends of the country, and thus were never really "close" per se. They don't fly. Talk on the phone maybe twice a year. Haven't seen them in 10 years. Grandpa is not well.
