Joanna Garcia | Houston Wedding and Portrait Photography

I’ve said it many times before, the blog is to show off my latest work with clients and also to blog personal things as they happen. I think this is a very personal blog post, but every chapter needs a story ending even if it’s not a happily ever after.  There is no point to erase old post and try to pretend they didn’t happen because they are a part of me, of who I am.

Recently a difficult decision was made that utterly turned my world upside down that the ducks I thought were “in a row” are no where to be found.

After dating for seven years, my fiancée and I made a mutual decision to call the wedding off. Without going into an explanation, I have to believe that it is the best decision for both of us.

The possibilities are endless. I’m staying positive about the decision we made. I wish nothing but amazing things for him. He truly is a wonderful person.

With that said, here’s to the future and whatever it may hold for me. Everything happens for a reason and I have faith that something good will come out of this. God is amazing and will bless us both.

Eight years ago, my grandmother passed away. I miss her like crazy. She wasn’t sick and I’m pretty sure she would still be with us today if we hadn’t been in that car accident. We were on our way to Puerto Vallarta on our annual family vacation when another vehicle came into our lane and we hit them straight on. It’s still very painful to remember.

I dream of her often and know she is very close to me.  I can hear her voice if I think very hard.

This is the last picture I took with her at my dance recital, one month before she passed away.

Te extraño Abuelita Lala.
