she was an angel.

she was
beautiful

selfless
talented
generous
grateful
fun.

she had the biggest heart, the best smile.
she raised 8 children. and did a remarkable job.

i am thankful for her and for the way she lived.
i am thankful for the amazing man my father is, thanks a great deal in part to his mother.

and now, more than ever before in my life, i am thankful for photographs.
priceless, story-telling photographs.
