Yes Nancy, it was! I am very fortunate to have them both still with us. In just the last couple of months they were both in the hospital - my Mom for emergency ulcer surgery which had her in the hospital and then in re-hab most of last November - and then my Dad most recently in for pneumonia in January. Dad doesn't drive anymore so I try to take them out as much as I can. Their world is very small when they are just in their place, ya know?
For another one of my pictures I have just their hands together. I am trying to get many of their pictures in the book - I need to have someone take a picture of ME with them!
Take care...
Jill
