What I will not get to see
January 14, 2015I have taken photographs of my son every day of his life. The images scroll by—smiles, frowns, a pout, mouths frozen in screams.
But he is already half my height, and yesterday, when I drove by a school, I watched the children at recess and thought about all the things they do that their parents don’t see, all the experiences that go undocumented as they emigrate to adulthood.
Life slowly fades like an image in bright sunlight. There is no reversing it—I already miss what I will not get to see.
