"Would You Take a Picture of Us, Please?"


The photodude and I were walking on the lawn near the mansion, and a woman holding a small point-and-shoot camera came out from under some big trees, and said "Would you take a picture of us, please?"  I said "Sure" and followed her back under the trees.  She explained that she and her husband had lost their son at age 19, back in November.  So they decided to sponsor a bench at Planting Fields as a memorial, and they were excited that it had just been installed.  The bench is located in a beautiful quite spot under some trees and has a plaque with the name of their son.  It was really nice to meet these people and hear their story- it fells important to connect with others and talk about such significant events.
