The Couple


I love this picture. Is it a husband and wife? Or is it a son with his mother?

As husband and wife, I think they are soul mates. They have watched their child grow and leave home. Now the two of them are once again alone and enjoy the simple things in life such as a leisurely walk through town, reminiscing about the years that have made up their life together.

As a son with his mother they have a close bond. She can't imagine her life without him in it. A child always brings pure joy to a mother. She takes so much pleasure in watching him grow from a small child to a grown man. And, as you can see in the picture, he cares for his mothers well being. And the mother, watching where she is walking, is ever so grateful for his strong arm and the son she has raised.

Either way, I love this couple and hope their story is just like mine. I wish them love and joy!


Note: Picture was taken in Europe by my son Todd

  2. I agree with Tomas. This is a very beautiful picture. Sometimes, we come across the right moments to capture and I love how this picture is processed in sepia. It brings out the words you use to describe it beautifully.
