Emotional Pictures

Every now and again a photo pops up which really moves me… whether it be to laugh out loud or to weep… or anything in between…

This is such an sad picture… a Dad saying goodbye to his beloved only Son, who had already gone through so much… (a last goodbye as it turned out, the 23 year old was later killed in action)…

what might have been going through their minds…

Keep safe son, love you… take care, come back soon…
Love you dad, tell mum not to worry… it’ll be alright… I’ll be home before you know it…

Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
War is awful !!!

thankfully I’ve found an earlier “father and son” photo which has made me smile…

The young man looks emaciated and exhausted.

thirteen years ago… she went missing and this photo (amongst others) was plastered everywhere… and I seemed to hold my breath “willing” her to be found alive and well…

heartbreaking…
