Today at the beginning of yoga class my teacher said, “Think of all the people who did all they did so that you could have off today.”
And I cried a little.
My grandfather’s shipmate sketched this portrait in 1943 (as you can see). He was twenty-three. This drawing captures him perfectly.
(I’ve been writing about him, actually. I’m not ready to show you yet, but I’m very excited for when the time comes.)
My favorite veteran too, waiting for us up in heaven!!
Do we have this framed? I don’t know if I’ve never seen this or I just forget, but this is awesome! You’re right, it captures him so well.
Haha, I think you’re the one who scanned it!
He was clearly a very handsome man. Handsome forefathers, bring forth handsome descendants too.
Aww, Mieke, thank you for that lovely compliment!!
What a special portrait! yes, very handsome!
