I Love...

My sons, 1985
I love this photo. 
(scanned from film, 1984)
It is of my two sons back in the early 1980s, before their father died.
It was a beautiful time, a time of innocence, a time spent with family.  
Two brothers, laughing, eating ice cream at Disney World, no problems, no sadness, no worries.
 I love this photo.
And it makes me sad......
