I stumbled upon a contest, thanks to Becky Higgins' blog. The prize is Project Life kit. I checked it out. To enter the contest, I had to comment on kara layne photography's blog, and just say what I wish I had a picture of.
Wow.
I've never thought of this before, but I didn't even have to think. I just knew. This is what I wrote:
I wish I had a picture of my dad from the days just before my mom died... the love he had for her after nearly 65 years together showed so strong during those days as he sat and held her hand, comforting her, helping her with her last challenge in life. The look on his face during those days told a story of decades of devotion and tenderness. I wish like crazy I had a picture of that - of him holding the hand of his one true love.
I can see an image of that in my mind now, but I know that image will fade with time. It would be so powerful to have a picture of that to remind me of their love, and his devotion.
Obviously, I can never have such a picture. I hope and pray I can keep that image in my mind for many, many years to come.
Aaaaaa-aaand now I'm sobbing, and it's time to drive to the High School to pick up Kathryn. Yay.
