The memories I have of my grandsons are rich and varied, but not "real". They exist in the limited capacity of my mind, and are susceptible to influence from my emotions, so while I cannot trust their accuracy, I can enjoy those memories. This image is a still from a composite video I did in Adobe After Effects, and the bright yellow predominant color reminds me of time spent with them at the New Gloucester Fairgrounds, the brightness and warmth of that day, and the joy in their hearts when they were at play. I miss the time spent with them in "reality", where Jen and I would go visit every other weekend, where we could hug them and be in their presence. I know the "virtual" aspects of connecting during quarantine times is not the same, but it is a lot better than nothing. I see and talk and watch them play every day now. I just miss hugging them.
