As a designer, I know that working on an image gives me time to be reflective as I study and refine what’s in front of my eye. This night before Father’s Day, working on this photo of my dad, my twin brother and me, I just let myself feel. It’s poignant to work on a photo of someone you loved so immensely and who’s been gone from your life for so long. Even though the memories fade in time, the love remains, accompanied by a small ache that you know will always be there.
I was so blessed to have this father of mine for 17 years. God bless the men who father the children of the world. We so need them.
What a great baby smile. How short to only have your dad for 17 years. I had my mom for 25, and really miss her as I have no siblings. Are you close to your twin brother?
