There are some things that I will never forget. Like the day I witnessed my mom meet the Indian Ocean for the first time. The Indian Ocean is the Grandmother to us. She is ancient and soft yet she is fierce. She is mystical and enchanting.
Mom and I were completely blissed out. Walking along the shoreline felt like we were floating. No drugs, just the present moment. Plus, all the moments that brought us to this moment right now. I called out to mom that we need to take a selfie. As I press the shutter on the camera, I drop it and as it goes tumbling down towards the water, my cat-like reflexes kick in and I caught the GoPro mid air, as it was taking a ten second "burst" of pictures. These were the two gems of that series. We were more excited that I actually caught the camera before it fell into the ocean.
A lesson on presence over presents. :)

Indian Ocean sunsets are pretty spectacular. This sunset will forever be etched into my memory. I already wish I could go back in time and re-live it again.
My mom and her husband Chris had to leave for the airport the following morning, so we knew we had to go back to see the Grandmother, the Indian Ocean, one last time.

What an amazing trip. Katie and I would have never guessed that our families would come all the way out to Africa to come meet our daughter Rayah. The whole experience has been a highlight of my life.
