Cherish

Recently, I was looking at photos on my Inspiration board. I saw a photo of my Mother and Father on their wedding day. I've posted it before, however, I never get tired of looking at them. There is a photo of me at a family picnic. I must have been about nine or ten years of age. And a decorative pillow that has the words "CHERISH" on it.



I love and cherish these photos because of who is in it. My parents and my youth. I cannot bring my Father back, nor can I return to a childhood age. My Father was a wonderful man, and my Mother is a beautiful lady. The photo of me makes me think I want to grow up to be just like them. ;)

  9. We are fortunate to have such wonderful parents. My parents are still loving life and I am amazed at the energy and the positivity they have to keep up! I have a wedding photo of them I adore. My children find it hard to see that it is them - one son when he was a little boy asked his Grandma - "What happened?" It is hard to fathom how life and age can change our exterior. Beauty lives inside our hearts even when loved one's are gone.

  11. Such beautiful sentiments Kathleen.
    Reminds me of Times when photographs were really cherished. I have grown to appreciate black and white photos with time.

    We live in digital times, when people can delete pictures just like that. I don't hav emany of my parents in their youth or many of my childhood, but those that I do, like you I cherish.
