Dominique Gilchrist (right), 12, gets up close and personal with Mike Wazowski (left), a character from the movie Monsters, Inc., following a performance by characters from the film during a Disney On Ice show at the RBC Center in Raleigh. Gilchrist and a number of students from The Governor Morehead School for the Blind were treated to an exclusive hands-on viewing of the characters following the performance. Although he had the opportunity to meet several other characters, Gilchrist spent most of his time with Mike Wazowski. "I've been waiting for weeks to meet Mikey," said Gilchrist, "He's my favorite because he's funny, just like me!"

The column is a celebration of the struggles, triumphs and tears we experience as we travel from birth to death. Our goal was to document moments in time that might otherwise be missed; sometimes it's the tiniest incident in one's life that has the most profound effect. When on assignment for the column, we looked for that one photo that tells a whole story. Some are the result of a found moment we came across on our daily assignments or our daily existence. For others, we thought of a specific event, like a first haircut or last dance, and sought out a subject who might illustrate the idea.
