grandma's plants
embracing, wiping tears, holding on to the last bit of familiarity in each other's eyes that we had almost forgotten over the years not to mention the distance of the atlantic ocean, and cherishing it. the guilt of not visiting my family in suriname for 18 years and of not having it cross my mind still stirs inside me. but my grandmother's house still smells the same as i remember 18 years ago, and kicking off my sandals on the porch and being welcomed by familiar faces felt like coming home.

(i don't usually post super personal things on flickr, but my summer vacation struck a chord with me and i have a lot of photos to share. so please bear with me..!!)
