vet day




i went around to various cemeteries today feature hunting for veteran's day and came across this - the woman at left was married to a man who is buried at the state vet cemetery. the son is pictured at center - he came to tell his dad the news that he just got engaged to the woman at right. i was doing fine getting the info until he told me this story as tears rolled down his face, and i found myself crying as well. it was an emotional exchange that made me very glad to witness this moment, and i'm thankful to them for opening up to me.

i'm continually amazed of the beauty and power of daily life.
