My mother and her smartphone (2 of 2): Photos.

So, on her new smartphone, too, my mother says that after my uncle had died, when she was by his house downstate taking care of things, she was like three days in and driving around on those errands, and at some point she picked up her smartphone, and there on the phone was a picture of her brother.

"But were there pictures of him on the phone and had you been looking at them?", I was like.

Yes, she said, but she didn't have them up right then, but she slid open the phone, and there the picture was, just that one time, and it was just freaky.
