my snapshots.

There are just those little moments that stick you, those images so detailed and so precise that just the thought of them can cojure up the exact emotions of the actual moment. 
here are some of my snapshots. they probably won't mean anything to you but you know you have those snapshots of your own.

a game gone wrong
he was green and blue. 
shaking and out of control. 
6 seconds of pure terror. 
too much helium too little oxygen. 
thinking this isn't a joke anymore.

he had his red hood up. 
and his elbows on his knees.
in straight stare.
sitting under a tall table.
it was the beginning of a very tough year.
we could hear friends talking and bowling pins falling
but nothing felt right



my loving grandma with good news "the baby was here".
i look at her with my messy hair and a night gown from a good nights rest.
the room flooding with light through the huge windows in the foyer of our small house.
pure excitment as I learned my baby brother was born.
