silent sunday: his last wish
My father’s last spoken wish to me was to come with us to the Grand Tetons and to Yellowstone. He would never have the chance to see it again, through his own eyes. But he saw it through mine, and through the eyes of his grandchildren.
We left a little of him behind, too, in three places that felt right.
Tower Falls area, Yellowstone National Park
Soda Butte, in Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park
Lupine Meadows, in Grand Teton National Park
“I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.” – John Muir, 1938
This is so beautiful, I’m all choked up.
Beautiful. He just keeps living through you.
I love that you took him with you, in your heart, on this trip.
love you, my friend. Xoxo
Gorgeous MJ. Your dad is peacefully resting now looking out over that beautiful landscape. Hugs XO
I believe your Dad is very happy and his soul is very much at peace in these settings.
Beautiful!
Lovely, lovely tribute to your father. We should all be so lucky to have someone do this for us one day. Very great post and photos.
Beautiful resting places. Hugs!
