Alicia, what a great photo and a great story! I'm so glad you shared this with us. From your story it sounds like maybe they aren't together anymore. That's always painful whatever the circumstances.

When I first saw it, it reminded me so much of my parents. My mom and/or dad were always sitting at the piano playing old hymns and one or the other of them or us were standing around singing with them. Did you inherit your dad's musical gifts? I hear it's often a genetic thing.

Wasn't life different back then. I notice they are all dressed up, and they are singing and playing the piano.

Ok. . I'll shut up now. This just brought so much in my heart up. Thanks, Alicia!
