Say hello to my grandparents, circa Fall 2007. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on a cruise. I came across this photo while looking through my aunt’s family album on Facebook and I felt a strange twinge. The first time I saw this was during my grandma’s funeral in March 2008.

Seeing this photo brought about a deluge of memories, mostly happy; the only sad memories are from the final week we spent with her in the hospital.

Ah well. I never expected these wounds to heal fast, if ever. Sometimes I’m surprisingly overwhelmed.
