Opening their eyes for the first time, ducks imprint on the first thing they see. And we imprint on the things we see after our loved ones die. I see my father now in the last inch of surf.
I feel my grandmother, Gloria every day and know it’s her when I see the first 3 digits of her phone number or her address on the clock. Sometimes I even smell her perfume. She passed 9 days after my daughter was born. When my daughter was just around a year and a half old, she told me that she sometimes prays to “Gloria.” I didn’t even know she was aware of my Grandmother’s name. 🙏
This was beautiful.

I call my dog the nickname my father had for her. He adored her. He loved her.
I actually have a heart-shaped Jasper stone that my mother found when I was a kid. I treasure it.🤎
