What a great thread with a great ending (current photo!)
What a great thread with a great ending (current photo!)
Oh, Martha, the recent photo of your parents brought tears to my eyes. Daddy still loved to wear suits and hats. Sadly, he passed away in June 2011 just 6 weeks before their 60th wedding anniversary. Hold them close to you while they are still here with you and take pictures, pictures, pictures of them. Pictures of them drinking coffee, pictures of them sitting in their favorite chair, pictures of them with you, their grandchildren, their great-grandchildren. You will never have enough photos of them once they are gone.
Rosa, thank you, I do cherish them...we photograph them often doing day to day things that you mentioned. It is not very often I photograph them in finer clothes, although they go to church every Sunday. (Daddy isn't the most patient one either for a photo session). :-) I will give a full report after the party. I have a photographer coming as I will be too busy to take pictures, so hopefully he will get a picture of their faces when they see the colorized version of the old days. Thank you again Ryo, job well done!
