After looking through six photo albums this is the picture that resonates most with me; probably because of the internal conflict I feel when I look at it. I took this photo of my grandparents when I was a teenager, shortly after arguing with them. I remember thinking my grandparents would be around forever so spending time with them was not on the top of my priority list. There would always be more time later. I wanted to spend time with people my own age. I grew up and before I knew it they were gone. To anyone else this is just an ordinary picture of a couple on the water. For me it is a happy memento of the yearly vacations with my grandparents as well as a sad reminder that life really is short and we need to take advantage of the time we are given with the ones we love.
