Looking through selfies taken on my cell phone over the past two and half years since my wife died, I noticed a change over time.
In the beginning I was so sad. You can see it in my face. Over time, peace came to me. Then color. Then satisfaction, happiness and even joy.
Below are the images in rough chronological order from soon after she died until today. I’ll let the pictures tell their own story.
