My Dad... A View From My Moms Eyes...

I spent the evening two days before my Moms wake personalizing a photo DVD (for the wake...) of her 69 years on this earth. I lit a candle, I poured some wine, I put on some comforting music and completely fell into my Mothers other life. The part where she had met my Dad. He was a shy guy from what she said. He recently told me that before meeting my Mom, he wasn't hopeful of meeting someone. He thought of himself as geeky or "not the best looking". I think he was so wrong. I found this shot (my Mothers hand writing explains it such) so endearing. I can look at this photo and see why Emily fell in love with Ray... They have known each other over fifty years... and the love then remains even now. Something that's so hard to find now...
