My dad passed away a week ago today and since that moment I have been rather busy with cleaning out his house, meeting people and family for the first time and gathering the usual type of information required to finalize some things.
I've also heard some amazingly unbelievable stories about my dad. Some are funny, sad and shocking. One interesting thing I learned about my dad was how much he loved fireworks, apparently to point where it wasn't uncommon for him to spend most of his check on them around certain holidays. So, I thought the most fitting memorial was shooting fireworks the night he passed away. I have said many times how I hope someone does that for me when I die and having been a part of this type of celebration I'm pretty adamant that happens. Maybe I will put that in my will. Celebrating sad events in ways that bring smiles to our faces is a much better way to remember someone.
So I've included a few pictures from that night as part of my 30 days of artography.
The fireworks photos are really cool. What a great way to celebrate life. In the second photo it looks like Tinkerbell (or some other magical fairy) is off to the right watching the fireworks with you.
