Day 173: Dad
I don’t get to see my dad very often for reasons I won’t go into at the moment, and when I do see him, it’s hard to see how old he looks. The dad in my head is strong and younger and not nearly as fragile. It’s hard to watch your parents age. He came for a visit today, and I took the opportunity to take some photos. I love the intimacy of the one above. And the one below is one of his characteristic facial expressions.
Taken June 21, 2008. Little Girl at 3 years, 6 months. Dad at 80 years.
