The desert was shockingly cold. The wind scraped at my face as I propped myself up and rested my elbows on the back of the pickup truck. The camera lens was nearly frozen shut. Rocks everywhere covered in a light blue frosting of snow. The only glimmer of warmth was a fleeting orange gap in the slowly dissolving clouds. The shutter made a crisp sound as I took the last photo. The day ended and I thought of you. I am back inside the truck now and we continue our trip home.

I haven't checked to see if there was a posting from you, as it has been so long. I was pleasantly surprised to find one waiting for me. Today is your birthday, another mile marker of life...know that I love you dearly.
