This photo was taken on my iPhone this past summer over 4th of July weekend at my family's lakehouse. This image represents calmness --an oasis away from the chaos and day to day struggles of work, school, and stress. It represents my family. The most important thing in our lives, and the reason I was gathered with uncles, aunts, and cousins to celebrate our country's freedom that granted my grandparents the opportunity to leave the Philippines in search for a better life for their children. This photo perfectly encapsulates the feeling my large family collectively shared at once that particular weekend during the Coronavirus era --the feeling that everything, at that moment, would be alright.
