and the meek shall inherit the earth
I was so excited about this roll of film. Couldn't wait to get it home, scan it, upload it, and start getting comments. I just knew everyone would ooh and aah over my beautiful film, the pretty colors, all the cool light leaks. Then something happened that changed my world.
I got home, booted up my computer and while my scanner was warming up, I checked my networking and news sites. There was this picture of a sweet smiling young lady. I started to read the article. My excitement instantly evaporated as tears filled my eyes. All thoughts of uploading my film disappeared as I realized how selfish and shallow I had been.
Over the next few days, as I learned more about this beautiful girl, an overwhelming sense of the fragility and preciousness of life came over me. So few of us really stop and think about that on a daily basis, myself included. This event has affected me more than I ever could have imagined. I don't think I'll ever be the same and that's good. I hope it has changed me forever. Made me a better person somehow.
And so this entire roll of film is dedicated to Lucina. Not a day has gone by since your passing that I have not cried. I will think of you for the rest of my life. I never even knew you, but you have made me live a better life. I can't explain it. Thank you and bless you, Lucina, dear sweet child. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth.
To my contacts, thanks for all your support. You're probably getting sick of these long posts. I'm sorry, but nothing else matters to me right now.
