The Original PHOTO”

Yesterday… posted this PHOTO of Lee Aldrich in color. When one compares the ‘one’ with the ‘other’ – – its all the difference of…  DAY and NIGHT!

If you have the  “TIME” – – click from yesterday’s post… the “PHOTO”  in color  – –  one  and back to the other – – and really compare. This suit is changed to a “NEW” suit – – and the same with the tie. Even Lee’s face seems so much  more alive. The whole world of color – – used is just the right degree of shading and texture —  Just have to give the Almighty full credit for  having this PHOTO turn out to be a really wonderful remembrance  of the Love of my LIFE  – – since he needed to leave “EARTH”… too soon.

Since the boys were young and I knew that without seeing their FATHER each and  every day – – it would be  too soon and they would never have a real good  idea of what he looked like.  So…  I stared going through all the PHOTOS  that I could find – – to find  that “one”…  that – –  I would like  and would be something the boys would see  daily  – – fixing a permanent reminder… of   what their FATHER  did look  like – – when he was here with us.

With my envelope of  PHOTOS – – I went to the down town  “FAMOUS and BARR” store – – as that was  “the” store our FAMILY did the majority of their shopping.

In the “PHOTO” department – – I had explained what I was…  IN HOPES OF HAVING THEM DO WITH ONE OF THESE – –  small  photos… maybe making a miracle happen – – because what I had to work with – – – well the selection was pitiful  – – –  to say the least.

Sometimes in Life… when you want HEAVEN – – but you just know it is not here on EARTH – – I almost thought that this was not going to turn out to be  what I really want – – but evidently… the Almighty must have sent some of his “ANGELS” to work with me that day – – I could not believe – – the price that I was quoted was what I could work with – – and this PHOTO…  they told me would be the best of all those that I had for them to work with – – and they would enlarge this small PHOTO to the best and as large as possible size  – –  that I would be very “HAPPY”  with the results.

When I returned to “FAMOUS BARR” store to see the final  and finished  “work of art” – – because that is what “it”  is. They had a couple of frames selected to view the PHOTO  in – – but the one that they had on – – just did wonders – -and I was not about to make a change. In walking out of the store – – I think that I was walking on “Cloud NINE” – – I could hardly wait to get HOME and hang it up for all to see – – for the whole world to view and admire.
