Unconditional Love!

My grandparents are very dear to me. They are one of the greatest examples in my life. Not only are they wonderful people, but I want my marriage to be just like theirs. They have set the bar with what I want in a relationship. The way they look at each other and live each day shows me that they love each other unconditionally. When I am with them, I can feel of their love for not only each other, but for me as well. 

My younger sister took the photograph below. My Mom's side of the family and I were in North Carolina three months ago when the picture was taken. After a long day at the beach, my sister and I were walking back to the cars and bikes slowly behind my grandparents with towels, boogie boards, our iPhones, and tootsie rolls in hand. I was talking back and forth with  my sister about our favorite parts of the day, when I looked ahead of me to see my grandparents holding hands. My grandma's feet were hurting her that day so she was walking extra slow with pain in each step she took. My grandpa stood by her side and was her support all the way to the car. I thought to myself that their love was true and always will be. In that moment I felt warm and wanted to remember this memory forever. I whispered to my sister to grab her iPhone and take a picture before they get to the car! She took a few pictures without them knowing and sent them to my phone a couple hours later.

I love my grandparents!

I want my posterity to see this picture and feel of the love my grandparents had for each other. I have downloaded it onto computer so that I can print it later and put it in a photo album. As of now I keep it in my photos on my phone and in a file on my computer. I sent the picture to my grandparents and told them how much I enjoy them. I love that this picture was taken spontaneously and has not been edited, but is still one of my favorite pictures. Instead of looking at the scenery and what was going on in the picture, the first thing that my eyes focus on is my grandparents holding hands. Their aging figures still there for each other through the wrinkles, pain, and long hours of each day. You can tell from the picture that it is warm outside. My grandma is wearing her sun hat she bought just days before the trip, and her pants that are her favorite color red. My grandpa holding my grandma's beach bag, wearing his swimsuit still wet from swimming in the ocean with his grand kids. They are incredible!
