The Story
In March of 2010, my husband and I took our daughter on a trip to the Grand Canyon. This trip was to celebrate her 21st birthday. But, for me it meant more than that. As she prepares to graduate next spring, I know that our spending time together as a family we be harder and harder to coordinate. This trip for me was one I wanted to hold in my memories forever.
One night, as the sun was going down, I took a photograph of this tree, which was just starting to bloom in the late spring. We were all out together, overlooking the beautiful canyon, watching the sun set. This is a memory I will cherish forever, the three of us, experiencing the moment as a family.
