Spent my usual Thursday night with my grandfather at the nursing home.
As we sat and watched "Friends" together, I snuck out my camera and
started snapping away. The room was lit by a dual bulb flouresent fixture
above him. I took about 50 shots, from different angles and different settings,
trying to capture some differing facial expressions.
It came to me after cropping the image, that something needed to fill the
spot on the right. I inserted his Army Air Corps photo, and a
"proud daddy photo" from 1949. That's my mommy in the middle!
I'm dedicating this photo to my mother.
She has had a very rough few years flying back and forth to Florida
to take care of my grandfather through some of his rougher ailments,
and now in deciding to bring grandpa closer to his family, here in Illinois
so that we can give him all the love in our hearts.
He's an extremely proud man who hates to ask for anything.
Little does he know that we would give him the world.
