This is a photograph of my mom, her sister, and her mother. While seemingly ordinary, it forever serves as a reminder of the importance of family and love, kept in my mom's office. My aunt and grandmother passed away due to cancer a couple years before I was born. While incredibly unfortunate and forever grieved, they are fondly kept in my family's memory as beacons of love and hope. These were kind and loving people who left a mark on our family, pushing us to be nicer to one another despite the raging world around us. My mom has told me many stories of their wonderful spirits and personalities, as well as how they pushed beyond their faults to do better. I cherish them and their efforts to bridging a gap between everyone in the family, and by extension the wonderful pictures that I can learn from.
