Two-year Anniversary

Two years later, the memories are as fresh as they were a week after our return. It is still hard to comprehend that it all happened. It's almost as if it were another person's adventure, surreal and enormous, yet from the sharpness of each detail, my mind knows I was there. Each animal we encountered was important, whether they had passed, were clinging to life or excited to be found. Each holds a special spot in my heart and will likely never escape the detail of my memory. They changed me, those animals, and showed me how to do extraordinary things in the wake of a horrific tragedy. They showed me that I could make a difference just because I cared.

So, this year, the anniversary is in honor of those animals. By their very existence, and in some, their passing, they showed me what it meant to care.

Please note: All the photos will be moving to a new website within the next two weeks. The links should be updated, but feel free to contact me if you are unable to access them.
