Today is the day

Today is Sam's funeral.

I am a pallbearer.

I have to remain calm and strong and this is so hard.

I hardly slept. My stomach aches. My head is pounding.

I miss my friend.

I am so sorry he is gone.

This is so hard

I still can't believe what has happened.

It just does not seem real.

I miss him so much.

Tomorrow is Sam's funeral. He is going to be buried
in Stanley, NM. A beautiful former town in Eastern NM.
It's a beautiful place. Sam would like it.

Today, Joy Neimanas has friends and teachers of Sam's over
to her home. She is a really wonderful person and someone
who Sam respected and liked.

Tomorrow is going to be so hard.

my friend Sam

I lost a good friend yesterday.

My friend Sam died in a car wreck.

I am so sad.

I will miss him so much.

A very special day

I can't believe I've been married a year. An easy, fun year.

We spent last night at Ten Thousand Waves. A wonderful time.

Today will be one of relaxation.

Just the two of us.

September 11th

I spent today in the darkroom. I was making 16x20 enlargements from 4x5 negatives. Hardly an enlargement.
I kept the house quiet and the music low in the darkroom and I took a moment of silence for all those lost on this day in 2001.
