Leaving Home

Jan 1, 2012

I am starting the year with a resolution to take a photo a day to chronicle my life this year. I have been inspired by Jonathan Harris and his very moving video.

This first shot is of my parents house. This is the house I grew up in. It's a bittersweet view today. Dad passed away a few weeks ago and I've been spending more time here than I have in a long time. So familiar. Hard to say goodbye to Mom, but the exciting opportunities for me at work require me in Berlin. Next 4 weeks are on the road and then packing suitcases for a year away. I am grateful for my sisters who are in the SF area and so involved in Mom's life. Exciting times are ahead for me and Marianna. But it's hard to leave tonight.
