Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement.  Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    On this day my sixteen year old father was shot in the head. He was at a party at a friends house too inebriated to understand. Jokingly he dared his friend to shoot him with a 22. Somehow said friend decided to take up this dare. The whole party ran out as the cops came including my dad. He was caught jumping a fence when the police officer discover he was the one to be shot. Although I wasn’t born yet I hear of the story from many people all the time. Whether from my aunts and uncles who recount being scared for my dads life. Or from my mom who came from the youth group and was only allowed in because my Nana saw a girl in an expensive white fur coat to be acceptable to see her broken son. My Nana was so scared to let anyone in that was apart of that “hood rat” crowd but when she saw my mom coming from the church in that fur coat it was suddenly okay. Every time my aunt tells me of the day she saw him when he awoke from brain surgery I want to cry. Even in my father’s drugged up state he knew her. “Who am I,” she said. With his eyes slowly opening he replied, “My sister.” This day is forever with me even if I wasn’t even a thought back then.To this day every time I look at the huge scar on my dads face I think of that bullet stuck in his brain and how much better he has done for me and my family. Not only is it a cool story but it is something that I have learned from and will continue to.

    My daughter Julia was born on this day in Dakar, Senegal. It was the day the Paris-Dakar race arrived in Dakar and it was chaos. Luckily I had been in labor for 4 days and was already in the hospital.

    This is the day I was born. Hundreds of miles away in Alabama. This project is amazing. I don’t know why, but I am so engrossed in it. Jamie’s last few days are heart wrenching. I am glad he found happiness amid heartbreak. Thank you for sharing.
