I don't know how old Jim and Betty are... but they've become a very special part of my extention of family... I walked into their home and was quickly taken back to grandma and grandpas. The walls were lined with photos... photos from today... photos from yesterday.
I love photos. I love how they make you feel, when just looking at them you can think of exactly how you felt in that moment... that moment captured by a flashing light... and here they were... the 20's, the 30's, the 50's... perfectly placed on the walls telling a story... their story.
The smell of a home cooked meal and the music from World War II (which by the way I just have to have!!!) playing in the background... it was all perferct. As we sat around the dinner table with the music playing in the background I watched Jim and Betty, I watched mom and dad... two totally different love storys... two totally different worlds that had been somehow thrown together... being me... I got all nostolgic and started asking questions about the photos. When were they taken, where were they... the storys told... the adventures had... it made me smile, it gave me hope...
Anyways... I felt like writing today... I need to write more... the moments spent with them took me back to when I was a child being with my own grandparents... listening to them bicker, sharing morning coffee... making bananna bread or canning pickles... moments that I can't get back but can remember... times when I was innocent and dreaming of that kinda love, the kind that never goes away.
And I guess thats the point of this... i'm holding on to those... those moments that make me smile... the ones that take my breath away... i'm holding on to the faith that in the end... love prevails, life is strong and that what is meant to be... will never be wrong.
