This is my most favorite picture of all time. It's of my grandparents on my mamma's side. My mom's parents. I could just stare at it for hours (which I know is very weird).
I never got to meet my grandmother, she died of cancer before I was born, but when I imagine her or hear stories of her I always imagine her looking like this. She is absolutely beautiful, her dress is ageless, and she seems so happy.
When I look at my grandpa I see a side of him I never met. The side of him when he was with her. He too seems very happy. And when I look at him I can see some of my brothers face in his.
I love the way it is black in white, I love his uniform, and her goofy hairband. I love the lace and pearls. I just love it.
Okay now you've made your mama and daddy cry. I remember that I used to stare at this picture too when I was a little girl. She looked just like a fairy princess then I would put on her veil headband that she let me play with and pretend I was a bride. Miss her. Love you. Can't wait to see you.
