I'm pretty sure that one of my siblings posted this already. I was just looking at it today, and thinking about simpler times. I think that this picture was taken in October of 1995, while our family was on a day trip to Yosemite. We're all arranged on that big rock that sits on the trail to the base of Bridalveil Falls. Mom and Dad are likely behind the camera. If only we knew how sweet those last few days would be - but then knowing might have taken away some of the sweetness. Mom made it to the lookout for Vernal Falls that trip. She was really proud of that. I tend to think of Mom in times like this. When I change jobs, or work locations, or where I'm living. The bigger stuff. I wish that she could be here to see her granddaughter and grandson.
My wife notices when I seem to be looking up at the sky more. It usually starts to happen this time of year. When it gets close. I tell her that it's just the changing seasons, and the light affecting me. She knows better, and encourages me to smile.

I miss her too Nick. She sure was a special woman. You and your siblings are in my thoughts around this time of year, always. Tell R. to give you a big hug for me.
I miss her, too.
I'll make sure to come see you guys sometime soon.
that was a beautiful....
on a similar note, don't let me read these types of thoughts while I'm at work, I can't squeeze copays out of patients when I have tears in my eyes :')
Crisp autumn mornings and the changing colors of leaves have always reminded me of my dear sister. How precious of you to have shared your heart with us all. My prayers remain as you make changes and begin yet another adventure. Hugs to all my dear nephews and nieces in Calif & Tenn.
