stooped and frail,
sometimes forgetful,
we see them as they are
yet they were young
beautiful
and full of life
falling in love
hoping, sharing,
looking forward
they are us
Author notes
It is a beautiful picture. It is nice to be reminded that our grandparents were not always old.

I love this take on the image, as we see them they are still what they once were and showing the depth of caring that they tried to instill upon us. With grace and luck we may become as they were. Thanks so very much for honoring their memories with this entry.
Be well and be blessed,
