| "Bye." |
Back in August of 2011 my brother Nick came to visit my parents. I went home to visit too since I don't get to see him often. As we were all leaving Mom wanted me to take a picture of her and Dad on the back porch waving. It was always a tradition with them that as one of us drove off we all waved frantically until we were out of sight. So they'd stand there and wave until the car was out of sight and weather permitting we would have an arm out waving also. And for some reason mom insisted on having this picture taken. I took it for them, and didn't think much else about it.
Skip forward to November. Mom has passed away. I am still home with Dad. I remember the picture and ask my sister if she knows where it is. She said it was on their computer somewhere. I start looking for it... and Mom has it on the desktop. And the title of the file is simply "Bye." I remember seeing it and thinking "You're shitting me." I opened it and there she was... waving goodbye. I think I laughed a little and cried a little at it.
