Twice today I have read blog posts by people that I have never met, yet somehow I feel like I can associate with them on a very human level.  Their posts today reveal more about the people behind the blog than I would have known otherwise.  And they each made me tear up a little.  Mark lost his friend Tom recently and Seth lost Beau, his four-legged friend.  This is precisely why I despise the term blogger – it sounds so de-humanizing.  Both of their posts explain why I have taken so many photographs of friends, family, and dogs over the last 15 years.  I want to enjoy the memories when they are gone.  Photographs are sometimes all we have.
