This is Mother with her "I am going to do whatever I must do" look. And Dad wondering how he would ever make it through a winter of milking cows and raising 3 teenage kids without her presence. The picture tells more of a story, than just a nice picture of Mom and Dad together.
Oh, the heart tugs I get when I see this photo. When there are struggles in my life, I am reminded of how easy I have it as I think of what others sacrificed along the way.
Dwight, I understand the tears. The sweet thing about all of this comes in the remembering that so many times from their strength, we are the beneficiaries. We are better because of them, we get through tough times because that is how they taught us. Just as they did, we keep putting one foot in front of the other with faith in Heavenly Father that we can and will get through whatever our current challenge is.

Good picture - one of the few of the school at Valley.

I'm sorry. I double click this picture and then sit and stare at it. And weep.

So how come I double-click on the pictures, with every possible combination, and don't get an enlargement? Drat!
