Finding Solace in Sunrises and Sunsets

By
Real Estate Agent with The Berkshire Group

Finding solace in sunrises and sunsets was a key part of my past few months.  I live in Colorado, a very far distance from my family on the east coast.  My mother, who has been my mentor and inspiration for my entire life, recently had to undergo radiation treatments for lung cancer. She has never smoked a cigarette in her life so this diagnosis has been even harder to accept.  Two and half years ago, she had surgery to remove the lesions....it has come back.  I traveled back to Virginia to be with her as she endured these treatments.  

I found myself waking up well before sunrise,....this gave the opportunity to grab my camera and try to capture some of the magnificent light just outside our door.

Thank you Sally and David and Andrew....life is difficult at times and being able to turn to my photography has truly been a lifesaver for me.  My mom, now 89, is the most optomistic, realistic woman I have ever known.  She is a retired doctor and I am inspired by her strength every day.  I don't think I can ask for much  more.
