I was out walking a public trail running along a river. This was my second trip of the day and I was just trying to put in some extra effort into exercising and increasing my distance walked by a couple of miles more.
As I was crossing a narrow foot traffic bridge at the end of it I saw a woman with a camera which I had been seeing there throughout the day. She had been taking pictures of young couples dressed up formerly and using the area as a back drop for the pictures.
Still unaware of what was really happening I crossed the bridge to access the trail and my oldest daughter was standing at the end of it. We talked a second then I looked and my granddaughter. She was with her date for the Prom & were standing there dressed formerly and finally it clicked in my brain what was happening.
I said I'll get on out of the way and was fixing to start my walk when my daughter and granddaughter said wait a minute we want your picture taken with her {meaning my granddaughter}. So there was this beautiful young woman and I say that proudly as her grandfather standing beside an old man wearing coveralls, boots, with a camo cane and a head wrap so I didn't get my scalp sunburned.
Yeah it seemed awkward to me at first but I stood for the picture. I noticed my daughter was in her going walking clothes so I was a bit more at ease then. LOL
What a charming story about your daughter and your beautiful granddaughter, who is VERY fortunate to have YOU as her grandpa! :-)
How exciting...dressed to the nines, for a prom! Then, having YOU there, to see how lovely she looked and a picture, of you all, to immortalized it all.
You were dressed properly for what YOU were doing and your daughter and granddaughter were equally dressed well, for what they were up to, as well. See? What I wrote, originally, still holds.
I hope that you get a copy of that photo, so that you'll always have a hard copy to go along with a wonderful, well cherished memory!
