A heart wide open

Scrapping the Music Blog Challenge: Challenge #75--Say What you Need to Say

Journaling reads: *click on picture to see it a bit larger*
My grandparents came to this country to make a better life for their family. First my grandmother, then my grandfather, then their children followed one by one. I think back to my first memories of them. I remember the parties, the house on Venice Beach, but most of all I remember their love for each other. My grandparents were married for 67 years through sickness and health they showed the family what true love was. Looking at life with a heart wide open I hope to make them proud.
