my parents. sweethearts since the age of 13. divorced when i was 23 (memory is hazy here as far as exact ages goes-) . my mom moved out and moved on the day after john and i got married. but for some reason, even though they've broken up and moved on and taken different paths, i still hardcore heart these photobooth pics (luckily i ended up with them- hence the reason why they still exist at all). they both look young, healthy, happy. and they were, i'm sure, at the time. even though things change, people change- i'm trying to take away the happy moments, the blissfully hippieish moments of my childhood. moments in a photobooth. kisses. miracles. to deny these moments would be to deny my existence completely. thank you, dear parents, for finding each other, for making it work while you did. and for being brave enough to jump ship while you could, making the most of the rest of your lives.

Over the winter, I was hanging up pictures of my husband and I and then decided on the spur of the moment to add a sweetheart shot of his mom and dad. My parents had a bitter split when I was 15, but I found a gorgeous photo of them on their wedding day and hung it up right beneath ours. They were married 27 years and had four kids, so they knew some things. Your photo was just lovely...
