I'm a Michigan artist and photographer, on my recent trip to Hawaii I took these photos of the Waiki Beach sunsets

#travel #hawaii #photography
Waikiki beach sunset view from inside the water with a semi cloudy sky, blue at the top and orange as it gets closer to the sun touching the horizon of the water Waikiki beach sunset The water glittering with the sunlight and waves smoothly crashing on the sand Waikiki beach view of the sunset. A very cloudy sky with the bright sunlight shining through. Sailboats on the glittering water.

Despite how much it hurts that I'll never see her again, I'm grateful I was able to give her the maternal love she so obviously deserves and so desperately needs even if only for a much shorter time than I had planned. 💕

I wish I could pluck every memory of you out from the darkest trenches of my soul. Every time I think I manage to I feel the immovable thorns left behind embedding themselved deeper, not as negligible as they may appear. I hate choking on the memories of our life we shared.

I made these memory boxes from our family Hawaii trip. I painted the waves of the beach on the top & used sand inside with the shells we collected.
