[[For Gpa]] 💙 That sunset was an important one. I never think to take time lapse videos of anything (I usually forget to take photos all together) but I took one that evening and I’m so glad I did.
We were camping on a friend's property near Stanthorpe. Her mum made a lovely comment about how “spiritual” that sunset seemed to be; her dad saying that Mother Nature was putting on quite the show for us that evening. It was true. I’ve never seen a single cloud dumped rain as the sun set behind it. It was pretty amazing for sure.
I didn’t know it at the time, but my Grandpa was passing away peacefully on the other side of the world, with my aunty holding his hand. We had no cell service, so two days later when we hit the road again, that’s when I found out he was no longer suffering.
We stood on this hill and enjoyed what turned out to be one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen at the same time as he comfortably made his way to… wherever we go when we die. I love looking back on these photos.
Paul Matheson Briggs was buried yesterday, with family and friends around to celebrate him.
Tomorrow would've is his 89th birthday ♋ A true Cancerian, through and through - he truly set the standard for how strong and influential a kind and gentle man can be. He rrrreally cared about people. I’m so grateful I had some of the best years with him.
I love you Gpa. Thank you for all the wonderful memories of You.
