Dad and Mom...and flowers from their gardens...

Picture
If my memory is correct it was Confucius that once said "a picture is worth a thousand words."  Yet, I wonder what words would capture this picture?  Words from my memory of what is here would that be an adequate description?  What if a stranger were to gaze at this picture...what would be her/his words to describe it?

There are a number of things I see which I will attempt to express in words.  First of all because of the large bouquet of flowers the picture is an expression of summer.  Second I would comment on the house/rooms that you see in the picture for it was as if was only yesterday that I was a teenager walking down that hallway.  Lastly I see my Dad and my Mom and I am struck by their happiness...I can see it in their faces.

Dad looks smaller than I remember him and maybe that is because for all of his years in my life he was a formidable person...and now all these years later I really am seeing him.  Mom is mom.  What can I say...she and I shared and do share the same dislike of our pictures being taken.  In this picture you can see she is humoring us all by allowing this picture to be done.

Strangely I remember this day when the photo was taken...it was on my birthday.  Dad and Mom...I love you and I thank you for...well, words are now escaping me...
