photos for the shoebox. for the gathering.

for laughter ringing out ‘round the table.

for the childhood wonder of staying up way past bedtime to dance.

for baby.

for grandad.

photos for the happy tears

for the sad ones too.

for the warm embrace. for the melted candle wax dripping onto the tablecloth, stains that will never wash out.

photos for the refrigerator and the mantle. for the scrapbook.

for the lingering cousins. for the vows. for friends you’ll see next weekend and ones you’ll see next christmas.

photos for you.<3
