as a child

growing up i look fondly on how we always had animals in the house. as a baby my mom had two cats that were close friends. i was born towards their senior years but i do have some memories of them. they liked to stand up and place their front paws on each other's front paws, kind of like a cat tower. it was very cute. they were both very friendly to me even though i was a baby. i think this is where my love of cats started as these two were kind of welcoming me into their home in a way. this would also be my first experience with loss as both would pass away from old age rather closely together. i was too young to understand the significance of loss at the time, though i do remember the process of them getting older and passing away. my mom always speaks fondly of these two cats and has told me she's had many cats throughout her life. though she has a wonderful dog now, i think me and my mom love animals in general. she really helped me foster that love as a child diff --git a/life/photography.php b/life/photography.php index ab3be3b..0779c24 100644 --- a/life/photography.php +++ b/life/photography.php @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@

early life and the spark

technology, electronics in particular, was probably one of my first loves. as a child i was quite fond of taking apart anything i could, not yet knowing it would be smart to put it back together. as i entered gradeschool, a teacher would become quite important in my life. due to being legally blind, he would visit the school once per week, and make sure i was doing okay in school. he would do small assesments and we'd play games that would test common skills a child would have at that age. the thing i was obsessed with every time though, was the laptop he would bring. i would learn that it was an IBM ThinkPad T23. to say i was fascinated by this black square is an understatment. i was hooked by the idea of the computer, it was the device for someone that possesed curiousity like i did. this teacher caught on pretty quickly, and eventually would allow me some time each meeting to just look around on the computer, or make images in paint. trusting a little kid with your work pc is pretty impressive, but i think it really speaks to who this man was and what he meant to me as a whole
