I pondered this theme for a while. It was difficult to focus on one thing. I'm grateful that my parents found each other. Like all married couples, they had their ups and downs. They worked hard together to provide for the family. We never had much money, but as a kid, I never knew that. I'm sure I never said "thank you" enough. My parents are now deceased. I think of them often and hope they knew I loved them and am grateful for all they did for me.
Here they are on their honeymoon in 1942.

Such a miracle we are here at all: think of all the generations gone before. They all had to be in good health and in the mood to make sure we had a chance at all. And then it was only a one in a million chance at best, several times over.
But I digress:Great edit with the curly edges and the faded look. [

Beautifully done Pat and your words hit my heart. I lost my dad yrs. ago my mom is still with us and at 93 I know we don't have many many yrs left and I often wonder if I say I love you enough.
That is beautiful!
Pat, this is beautiful and a lovely tribute to your parents.
Hi Pat! What an incredible image and edit. Loved it! To answer your question, I live in Texas and I am so loving the migrating butterflies.
Absolutely Awesome Pat!

Your parents look ecstatic on their honeymoon. Beautiful work on the composite and textures.
I love your edit and your thoughts. It's easy to take good parents for granted, especially as we are growing up and know no different.
