For 27 years, Deanna Dikeman photographed her parents waving goodbye as she drove away from their home in Sioux City, Iowa. Beginning with a casual snapshot in 1991, the gesture became a shared ritual and an extraordinary record of family life. As seasons change and her parents grow older, familiar views take on new emotional weight. Leaving and Waving gathers these departures into a moving meditation on affection, aging, and loss, revealing how a simple goodbye can hold the story of a lifetime.
