As the sun set on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the bite slowed. I sat back for a moment to reflect on the days past. Vacation is a time to escape the everyday hustle of life, but also a time to reset. What I didn't know was my mother at the time was doing the same, reflecting and preparing for a fresh start. We were on a family vacation, my parents and sister with her family, all here. They traveled down from Chicago so we could all spend a week together. It was a beautiful time we all enjoyed. The magic that took place though was a surprise to us all. My mother, as she sat inside gazing at the same sunset, came to the decision that North Carolina was going to be her home too. After discussing with my father, they decided that it was finally time to leave Chicago and head South. This Sunset was a changing moment in all our lives. My parents sold their house and moved to NC. My only wish is that this sunset would've done the same for my sister, but I'm truly blessed to have captured this moment.
