 Should it take a lopsided pine in grayscale comfort, pilfering radiance to glory awhile before we imprison its presence in glimmer brilliant to frame it as memory, when all the while, smallish gifts of vellum dispatch betiding token boxes were the greatest present in thought and deed… inked word, bestowing keepsakes… cherished memories of their own… did they know? Did they know the memory would be oiled and framed with love? We love you, for you will always be in our hearts… Merry Christmas, 1960. Love, Mom & Dad [This message has been edited by Sunshine (12-05-2004 08:51 AM).] |

They didn't know, but you can bet they hoped. In your case, the wish was well repaid. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

The seasonal title pulled me in. Haunting thoughts of bitter-sweet sadness follow me away. |

About that time, my parents yielded to my begging that I be allowed to take the pictures... maybe because Mother's arms were full with a new baby. *S* Of course... that means that no picture from that era is quite complete... our leaning pine suffered the further indignity of me chopping its top off in the pictures... but hey... I was short... and what was UNDER the tree kept grabbing my attention. *S* What a beautiful love-shot this is. *S* |
