The morning of my grandma’s funeral I saw some really cool reflections in the windows at the church.

My Everyday Life Week 34 on Shutterbean.com

There was a point at my grandma’s service at the cemetery where the sun got brighter and hotter and then it faded. It was powerful. I felt her. She was the sun for a moment and she reminded me what LIGHT feels like.

My flower on her grave.

    Such beautiful photos this week, I love how you see the world and find the light. Your grandma and I share the same birthday, I feel honoured, she looked like a force of nature!

    • Tracy

      She shares the same birthday as one of my nieces too. Very special women, indeed!

  • Christa

    Sorry for your loss, Tracy. Gorgeous photos, as always. My fiancee and I are headed to Vancouver a week from today, and I’m inspired to take photos of the little things like you.

  • Caroline

    I’m sorry for your loss Tracy. looking at your photos has become my favorite part of Sundays.

  • Linda Renzulli

    Your niece is stunningly beautiful! When did she grew up? Wow!

  • Rachel

    Sorry for your loss, Tracy. These photos capturing your grandmother in the light are beautiful. Wishing for peace for you and your family.

  • Amy

    Ugh, Tracy. Grandmas, family, feelings. I am so sorry for your loss. My grandmother would have turned 93 on 8/15 had she not passed away 21 years ago. My birthday is at the beginning of August, and there was a crazy and tumultuous full moon the following week…This August has been the month of feeling the feelings for me. Quality time with those we truly love is at a premium, right? I hate talking in cliches, but “living in the moment” really means something to me these days.

    • Tracy

      The full moon was on my birthday this year! Totally crazy. August was an emotional month for sure. Living in the moment is key!

  • Victoria Pease

    Really moving post this week Tracy, I love the way you captured how you were feeling through photography. Your words about the light really struck me and I hope that gave you a lot of comfort.

    I am so sorry about your grandmother.

    I really enjoy seeing your week, mostly to get my California fix, so it was strange that most of your week was in NY!

    I really like what you are wearing in the photo with your brother. 🙂

  • Lori

    So, so sorry about your grandma. Your trip to Tahoe looked lovely though 🙂

    I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s strange and beautiful how our loved ones let us know they’re watching. Thanks for sharing, even though I’m sure it was a painful week at times.
