Dear Photograph,

I wonder why my mother was smiling so big in front of the church of San Gian in Switzerland? Could it be that she was happy to be travelling with her parents? Or was it because deep inside her heart, she somehow knew she would soon meet the love of her life and future husband in Paris? She is over 90 years of age now and has no recollection of this photograph, but for me, I feel content knowing she was so happy in another time and place.

Peter
