In early 2019 my Great-Uncle Wayne moved into a retirement home after years of living in his beautiful lake-side house in Sydenham, Ontario. It was hard for him to move, and after cleaning out his house I realized why. My great-uncle had thousands of old photos of him and his late wife, Alice, and the many memories they made in that house.

On October 1st, 2020, A date shared with my Mother’s birthday, my great-uncle Wayne passed away. This photo was the very first photo I took with the exact same camera he had used for all those years.
