Revisting
Almost two weeks ago i wrote this in an entry.

So far my aunt is doing much better and i plan on stopping by today to see her -- Haitian style (read: unannouced).
below is one of the few recent pictures i have taken in color that i adore



As for the little girl's mother, i was told by my Gram that she is in the hospital in a coma. But alas, my Grams is an exaggerator of mudane life events, so i will ask my mother when i feel up to it. i don't what i should be feeling or doing. i would wish to document her mother visually, but i don't know about capturing someone who may or may not be her tomorrow. But i feel that i want to do it as a remembrance of this dark period, whether the outcome is good or bad. But people feel very uncomfortable about documenting death unless it's a prominent person.

i hope that my funeral gets documented, just as my wedding or any other special occasion would be. birth, life, death are all intertwined so why ostracize that last phase? I think whatever happens i will try to keep a record of her daughter through photos.
