The Pain Of Letting Go

I didn’t understand why it happened, I didn't understand how, but it happened, and now I have to explain it.
It all started in the summer of 2013, when I (Nina Thomson) entered a competition of photography, I like photography because it makes me feel calm. However, it was also the time when i was diagnosed with anxiety. I was diagnosed with this because I got very worried for my dad because he was due to have a hip replacement, if he didn’t want to walk without pain for the rest of his life, and I was the one who had to look after him, ever since mum left that is (but we won't speak about that, that’s a whole other story)
My dad loved the idea of me being a photographer, he liked the idea of me expressing my thoughts through photography. Anyways the competition I have entered is a chance to go to New York and win the latest Cannon camera! We had to send in some of our photo's on the subject "Nature". And since I take pictures of nature with a passion, when I sent in my photo's I found out a fortnight later that I won! However, my dad got worse with walking and had to go to physio for 4 weeks, and my anxiety got a little worse when we found out about that but its ok! My best friend Sami has helped me through it all and has just really kept me thinking about the good things rather than the bad things.
