11.22.14 | Remembering Mark Inman
On November 21, 2014, I received one of the most unexpected and heart breaking phone calls from my Aunt Susan. She told me the news that my father had passed. His friend Ronnie had found him on his recliner chair after trying to call him for a day or two with no answer. We don't know the exact cause of death but we do know that he had passed in his sleep. No one is ever prepared for this kind of news, and being that it was the first time I had ever lost anyone really close to me, it feels very surreal even to this day. The thing I still can't comprehend is that I can't just pick up my phone and call him. He leaves behind 4 children: Elissa, Jake, Shane and myself; all of which are the last of the Inman's. The siblings and my boyfriend David left the very next day to make a drive to Corpus Christi, Texas. These are photos that I took of our unanticipated journey from Albuquerque, New Mexico to my Dad's house in Corpus Christi, Texas to gather his belongings and to see his physical self one last time at his viewing. Along the way, we tried to make the best out of the situation and other times it was very emotional for us. You can see his personality in all of his gadgets and things he had in and around the house. He only had this house for about a year which was a great milestone in his life. I had to document the way he lived and the things he saw everyday so that we can remember Mark Inman's environment and how he lived before he passed.
