Ever since I had my own little girl 15 months ago I find it incredibly hard to think about the idea of loss of a child. Your “muted backstory” link is beautifully said, so thank you.

That is exactly why I take pictures everyday – especially candid ones. They tell the truth of that moment, that instant.
It’s a great photo.

Indeed: Mary Oliver is a national treasure.

Thank you, all.

The picture, Susan, is of him as a pretty young guy of maybe four or five (he lived ’til a few weeks past ten). We were hiking back from a day of fun at a Sierra lake, and someone (my sister? my beloved?) took this. I loved it then, and love it even more now.

You do an amazing job remembering your nephew, celebrating your nephew, and sharing him with us. Thank you for that–and I’m so very sorry that you have this task before you. That’s a gorgeous photo.
