Knowing his has been a difficult road over the past few years, I had to click through and read your thoughts. You will never regret taking that series of photos, I imagine you intuitively know this. It wasn't an invasion of privacy, it was capturing him (and the others) in a moment of "ordinary life", which somehow, in it's own way is spectacular. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had more photos of my dad in his last year--THAT void I DO regret.<BR/><BR/>I've missed your Caption This for too many weeks...so here are a few that popped into my mind to get things started.
