Earlier this evening I found out that a friend of mine had lost her father after a long battle with cancer. Cancer is unfortunately one of the things we have in common. Both her Dad and my Grandfather were diagnosed with lung cancer around the same time. There are so many up and downs when someone you love is fighting cancer. I can only hope that when it feels difficult she can look back on the memories they shared.
This past fall I was lucky enough to join her family for a photo session and while although it was not one of her Dad's best days he came and joined in anyway. I think we captured some special memories that the family can look back on fondly.
Thinking of you Helaina....
