Remembering Dad by mzzhope

Remembering Dad

My get-pushed partner Smitha asked me to take a picture depicting extreme emotion.Rather than asking my husband to pose for something dramatic I decided to photograph something that makes me emotional. These are my Dads dog tags, his bible that he carried and his army pin.He was in the Korean war. He made it out alive when his whole squad did not. Although he died when I was 15, I am grateful that he came back from the war to marry my Mom.Or I might never have known him. And would not have had those 15 years with him.
Hope this works. It makes ME emotional. @smithak

This really is a story in a photo. All the old metal, with it's textures, is wonderful. I'm tearing up myself.
