Dear Photograph,

30 years ago my parents took the trip of a lifetime with their two best friends. As I look at their faces in this picture, I can imagine the wonderful times that they shared together. This summer I had the chance to stand in that very same spot with my own best friends and I could feel my parents there with me.

My dad recently passed away, but his enthusiasm and love of life will always be a part of me.

Thanks, Mom & Dad, for passing along to me your joyous spirit and for always showing me how to treasure the special friends and family in my life.

I love you both,

Vicky
