| Always look up Toronto, ON May 2025 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
So before long I found myself, camera in hand, lying on the floor, looking up, trying to capture an angle that, frankly, made no sense at all.
The kids laughed. My wife smiled. And after a few minutes, I got the shot and we all continued on with our day in a wondrously strange place.
Fast forward to modern times, and we once again found ourselves in a hotel room far from home with two of our now-adult children and their significant others.
Once again there was a floor lamp by the window. Once again I felt the need to view it from a nonsensical perspective. Once again laughs were heard, smiles were seen, and explanations were shared with the new members of our family.
Memories are fascinating things. They connect us to who we were and who we are. They also connect us to the ones who matter most.
Maybe this is a photo. Maybe it’s much more than that.
