May 1st Can't come soon enough
Meanwhile, in 12 days is the 7th anniversary of Cheryl's death. On one hand, 7 years doesn't seem long enough. It seems like a longer time period.
On the other hand, I'm continuously reminded of the friends we had in common by their posts of her photos. I'll never be completely free as long as I still associate with the same people. And... what have they done lately, since I broke away to be a pro photographer? Virtually nothing.
That crowd includes Sammy and Cindy, the Yermans, the Planet crew, Danny Ailla and his wife Jen. A few more. All, have gone away doing their own things as have I. I'm all but dead to them, and that's fine.
The world, and me in it, has changed
