Okanagan Valley, BC - 1

I flew in to a forest fire on a hot July afternoon. after close to a decade, I met 5 members of my family again. I was so nervous on the flight over, not having seen them for so many years but they let me stay in their spare bedroom and they showed me around Kelowna and it's a strange thing, to be allowed into the lives of almost-strangers simply because of the blood in your veins. I could not be more grateful for the time I was able to spend with them.
