Jasmine is now 5'8.5" which is the last height I had recorded for Alicia in Oct'09. When I measured her, I felt a little pain knowing that Alicia would forever in my mind be the same height and 17 years old. I would not have the pleasure of guiding her through college, life, and beyond. That feeling washes over me like a wave of water on a beach. One second, I am staring right at it and the next, I am fully enveloped in my emotions.
When I watched the Rascal Flatts video "Here comes Goodbye" I thought of Alicia, my father, my mother, my uncle, and my aunt. Like above, this video caught me a little off guard. It is a beautifully made video and a wonderful song.
After watching the video, I was inspired enough to try my hand at rending a slide show on our Mac. The resulting video, I have put on my YouTube channel. I used a few pictures from when Alicia was in TEAM. I used Eric Clapton's unplugged 'Tears in Heaven' song and titled the video TEAM Memories. I hope you enjoy it. The pictures capture the essence of her free and lively spirit.
Until we meet again ichi.
