Grandpa McEldowney

"Everything I Know About the Four Most Important Topics That Arise"

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I've been slightly busy and just a bit lazy. :) My husband and I will be moving back to Illinois for good in a short period of time, so we've been packing a bit and he's been studying for his finals.

The picture above is one of a series of photos that I have done for Jon's family. I took photos of the flowers in the arrangements at Jon's grandfather's funeral and then used my editing techniques on them. The text on the photo above was actually written by my husband's grandfather:

Everything I Know About the Four Most Important Topics That Arise

That one day I was born.
That some day I will die.
That I thank God for both of these.

That freedom can't be given.
That love can not be taken.
That nothing else I've known is worth the having.

-David McEldowney, 1977

(1928-2008)

You can see the rest of the series here.

So it may be a while before I post again, due to the whole moving thing. Until next time! :)

Evergreen

So. I'm going to be gone for a couple of days. The funeral for my husband's Grandpa is tomorrow evening. So, in the meantime, enjoy my newest pic. Hopefully I'll be able to get a few spring photos in soon.

Grandpa Mac

My husband's grandfather passed away this morning. We made it home yesterday and Jon was able to say goodbye. The weekend has been incredibly emotionally challenging. The funeral will be on Friday. Unfortunately Jon has his final for Trial Advocacy on Thursday, so we have to make another trip to Ann Arbor and back. Luckily I have been able to find people to cover my shifts this weekend. So, prayers are definitely welcome.

No Trespassing

This photo was processed using a variety of techniques that were then layered on top of each other to give the photo this look. Anyways, this old grain elevator is just outside Normal, Illinois.

Yesterday my husband found out that his Grandfather is in the hospital. He's evidently not doing so well. It sounds like he may have lung cancer and it may have metastasized to his liver. We're waiting to hear more. Prayers are definitely needed.
