One day, a lady came to take photos of her children. She was about 80 years old. She told me that it took a lot of courage for her to come here without her husband because he had just passed away the previous month. They had been in love since high school and had been married for 60 years. "You won't believe this," she continued to tell me their story. The day she buried her husband was their wedding anniversary last month. "I'm sad to hear that," I said to her. "But you still need to be strong so that your children will be comfortable." She replied, "Yes, I'm always positive and you can see that I have almost no wrinkles on my face." It was true. She looked about 60 years old. I told her that your children would be happy to see that you are still strong and positive in the photos.
