keep smiling

at an uncle's funeral this afternoon, another uncle asked me:  'don't you have your camera anymore?'

me:  'oh, i do!'

uncle:  'then why are you taking pics with a phone?'

he wasn't the first person to ask me that.  family and friends are used to seeing me with a cam.  it's been like that since i was in second year high school.  that is, uhm, decadeS ago.

my reply:  'i have pics of <departed uncle> on his birthday.  he was so happy that time.  we never expected that he would pass away the following day.  i'd rather that those happy pics be his last pics on my cam.'

prayers for his eternal rest and everlasting joy.
