With my dad just turning 60, my mom in her mid-50s, and the loss of countless family members over the past few years, I’ve been forced to confront their as well as my own mortality. In watching my family age, I’ve seen them taken by countless illnesses. These losses have been more immense than I can describe as they took both that person I loved and a bit of my own sanity with them as I started to fear my future. Will I ultimately get Arthritis like my dad and be unable to hold my camera? Will I get cancer like my grandmother and face a slow and painful death? These thoughts race through my brain constantly now.
