Some people think being a third wheel is awkward. I think it’s the best part of my day.

My grandmother died in 2007 and ever since then, she has visited me and my family as a beautiful, yellow butterfly. I always loved playing with my mom’s digital camera, but years after my grandmother’s passing, I walked outside and spotted our cherry blossom tree teeming with yellow butterflies. I ran inside, grabbed my mom’s camera, and captured the photo that started my love of photography.
