Work Text:
frank’s late wife hassled her family often for photos: meaningful events and miscellaneous activities.
on this day four years ago…
the screen redirects to maria’s account, an album he was tagged in.
new york state fair.
frank cycles through the memories, reliving each one.
half the credit goes to lisa, who offered help, despite her inexperienced camerawork for a 12 year old.
“…let me do it mom!” lisa’s voice chimes.
thirty-some reminders of their existence in uncentered, uneven, slightly blurred images…
to know grief is to know love… and for once, for frank… this was finally more comforting than painful.
