RE: An Important Message To All Steemians!
One word. Poignant.
This mental illustration left me filled with a mixture of hope, love, sadness, acceptance and so beautifully captures the grace, and pain of growing old with a loved one, that I could see the kitchen in my mind, and her face and her heart and his confusion.
It feels weird to celebrate the piece with "happy" words, but it also feels weird not to.
Nice choice of words there Cork. I tried to convey a life lived well and fully. The heartbreak of losing his daughter brought him to the state of his current physicality and mental state. The uncontrollable shaking and forgetfulness more a side effect of the years of medications.
Still I wanted to show that he was still a rascal and that they were both comfortable with their lot. He just, as much as she, letting go of some things while gaining new through the years.
If a couple can't grow together, through both the good times and bad, they inevitably grow apart. I hope that message came through as clearly as I had hoped.
Thank you for taking the time to read and comment @sircork.
Keep on Steem'n on!
