Time

So I know this is probably one of the least aesthetically pleasing photos on Project 365 so far. But I chose this photo because of its symbolism. I took it while waiting in an ER examination room as my mother-in-law was being treated. While driving her to the emergency room, she made the comment, "We haven't spent time together like this in awhile." And though I know this was the last place she wanted to confront, it was a beautiful reminder of how much I love her. And of how fast time flies. And how I actually valued the way time stood still during the hours we spent together in this stark space. Even as I write this, my eyes well up with tears. It's a reminder to value the present, to be present with the ones you love, and to not wish time away.
Wonderful words well spoken Kareen. I hope your mother-in-law is better now.
