I find myself deeply in need of photos of my mother hugging and comforting me like these.
These are the moments that are fleeting.
These are the moments that fade away as quickly as they came.
To have captured photos of this real, raw love between a mother and her daughter is wrecking me.
Deep in my belly there is an overwhelming sensation of need for mom’s wisdom and comfort.
We often think photos are for us and they are.
They are also for those who want to revisit those moments when we are miles away or gone from this life.
So, these photos are for you, Azucena.
For the days when you miss your mom deeply.
For the days you want to hug your mom and can’t.
For the moments you feel afraid and continue Moving Bravely anyway because you have big, brave things to do with your existence.
Mom, I miss you so much I feel sick. I want your hugs and your damn silly videos. Through these photos, I feel your love wrapping me up today.
