In memory of Gabriel I am participating in a photography project called Capture Your Grief. It will be going all 31 days of October, since this month is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month.
Day One: Capture the Sunrise
October 1,2012
This morning I stood outside my home, the air was fresh and crisp with the promise of a beautiful fall season ahead. The morning dew was cold on my bare feet, it felt lovely. I watched the cloudy sky, it was still mostly quiet and the early morning traffic had not started up yet. Many times I felt myself close my eyes and breathe in deep and heavy, before long I was drunk with peace and love. I heard the birds chirping, I watched them fly around in the sky and I imagined Gabriel flying high with his beautiful and perfect angel wings. I snapped some pictures, the sky looked as if it would not break open for the sun. I went in only to see light coming through the window shortly after. I ran back out and saw the sun breaking through, it was beautiful and bright, perfect. As I snapped a photo I thought of the many shades of gray clouds being the many shades of grief. I was the sun, eventually I will too break free of the darkness, and I will be bright and beautiful, strong and perfect.
