3 Hours

I didn't know you, yet I am intrigued with your last photo.

To pass you by in life would have meant nothing at the time, yet your mother is part of my son's upbringing.

In any other circumstance I wouldn't have known you. You would have lived your life and I, mine, except I was shown a picture.

Pictures are said to say a thousands words yet I am almost speechless.

I don't know where the picture was taken but feel the moment. The one moment you may have been observed by God and not even been aware of it.

I don't know where you were going when the picture was taken, yet, I know where you are now.

I'll be keeping this as a reminder to live, love and be happy right now.

I know you're mother must be grief ridden but I hope she knows there was something more important for you to do.

Rest in Peace and thank you for that one glimpse at what you saw that day.

(Once I find the disk which will load my scanner back to my computer, I will post the picture that was taken 3 hours before this person dies).

  2. This is about a 17 year old kid. His mother works at Kinder Care. He went out hiking and wound up missing at one point when they got to a river. I don't want to build up the picture too much but I stared at it for a while and then had to come write about it.
