Description
I tend to stand in the background and watch people from afar. I see a family and I wonder if the dad is a good dad who gives his children hugs and teaches his son to play football, and I wonder if the mom is a good mom who reads to her children every night and braids her daughters hair before school each morning. Sometimes I wonder if the dad is a jerk and ignores his children because he is always busy with 'work', and if the mom is just as bad as the dad and always hangs out with her girlfriends and only talks about her children to brag about them. I see families who look so torn apart and I can see the dad hitting his wife and her protecting her children. I see families so close and I can see them all laughing at the dinner table and posing the next day for family pictures. And some days I see something amazing, let's say a mother and son eating ice cream together in the mall by the carousel, and I just need to capture the moment. Because when you look back at the picture you can see the smiles and you can tell how happy they look. They look forever happy in the picture because no matter what happens, the picture will never change. But the boy will, and so will the mom. The mom will age and become bedridden and the boy will grow up and go to college. (This is a different take on my other story, Flower On The Sidewalk)
