I'm so sorry for your sister and you reading this sad new about your father ! So I'm sending you lovely thoughts and prayers during this difficult time too. Peace and love for him !
On this Easter Sunday there truly is one thing i DO know....that love is the only thing that truly sets us free.....i will be praying at dawn for you and your dear father
Many thanks to all for your lovely thoughts and kind words.
A call from my sister at 02:25am, my time, 5:25p PST, let me know that he had just passed - and quite peacefully. That's all that matters. After many years with Alzheimer's disease, it seems to me a blessing for him to be released.
Leslie, your father is remembered as being gracious, humorous and filled with energy; as typified by his remodeling of his family's home and refurbishing a desk for a law student. May he be in peace. Kevin.
Franka, Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. I so hope you enjoyed your time in my little ville. I think you were here during some delicious days of sweet temperatures and soft, golden light. It's one of my favorite stretches of the year here.
Char, thank you.
(ps: Kevin, if you happen to stop in at 'the table' here at La Fourchette again, please find my email at the profile page. I'd love to catch up and know how you are in your life...and if email doesn't feel like a fit beyond your sweet comment here, then just know I send all good thoughts in your direction that you are doing well and know happiness on every level. You showing up was such a lovely gesture and such a nice surprise.)
“Leslie landed in the lavender and olives of Provence in 2004...fork in hand...” so began La Fourchette in 2006. Fast-forward to this moment...with survival issues managed (every ex-pat knows what I'm talking about!), I return to the original passion that brought me to France: photography.
A quote from Wynn Bullock (20th century photographer) comes to mind as I define myself as a photographer:
"At 42, I decided to become a photographer because it offered a means of creative thought and action. I didn't rationalize this, I just felt it intuitively and followed my intuition, which I have never regretted."
Shortly after I began following my passion and traveling to France to shoot photographs, Façonnable picked them up for their US market. A card line was featured at Nordstrom and small French-themed boutiques throughout the US.
Now, in the golden wash of light that is the south of France, I continue my psychotherapy practice and passion for photography.
