A Thousand Words: They Were There

THOUSAND WORDS

An old photograph of four children taken in 1984, scanned and orange, sent from one child in the picture to another the week after a third child gets married. The picture shows three laughing children, a fourth staring off into the distance. One of the laughing children has since passed away. The oldest child in the picture reflects on the photograph, and what it says about the presence of long lost family members at the third child, her sister’s, wedding.
