this is my family photo for three years ago.
I and my 94 years old great-grandmother's last handshake, one week later she had passed away.
photo is out of focus because I was crying like a child.

A moment of silence is needed for such a strong emotional piece. You have captured a pricless moment in your life.thea walstra 20 Apr 2005
I agree with Jo. I think it is even functional this time because of the emotions and the fact that it is a hand of a very old ladyJo Glasscock 19 Apr 2005
