These pics are 40+ years apart 🥹... Yes, **forty+** years ago, my husband’s dad hiked 15 miles to stand at the base of this very waterfall. Our Havasupai backpacking trip was more than just an adventure; it was a perfect way to remember Evan’s incredible father, who recently and unexpectedly left us too soon. Standing where he once stood and hiking the same 30+ miles of trail felt a little surreal, and was the best way to keep his spirit alive. WHAT WE LEARNED ❤️‍🩹 Revisiting a place special to our loved one has the power to heal. ❤️‍🩹 If that place is in nature, the healing power is multiplied! ❤️‍🩹 It keeps their spirit alive in a way that feels amazing. ❤️‍🩹 It allowed us to feel connected. ❤️‍🩹 Travel IS healing. ❤️‍🩹 It’s not only OK, it’s essential to talk about and reminisce about our lost loved ones. ❤️‍🩹 We’re not promised tomorrow—LIVE now. And the best part? It got us talking about trips we can do together in the future... experiences that he always want...
