Three years ago it was my father; now it was my mother: she passed on last week at age 83, and I will miss her. This foto was taken two days ago at Pultneyville, looking north toward Kingston, where her parents are buried.
Near these waters was her home–and mine–for 55 years. And they shaped us.
Ma, you will be missed, and you’d tell us to push on.
All fotos taken this week by Will Van Dorp.

There was beauty in the smoothness of those rocks. All worn down in there own way. It is the same with big families, we can help to smooth each other’s rough edges. You shaped us as your parents shaped you. I am thankful for you and them. Pushing on…
