today we had a balloon launch for one of my friends who passed away a year ago from aplastic anemia.
7.8.9

one: raise your balloon into the air
two: close your eyes and think of jake--his smile, laugh, courage
three: open your eyes and let go

i can honestly say this was one of the most amazing things i've ever seen
i was so caught up in the moment i didn't really think about how to construct a photograph

let go, click.
