The Oldest To The Youngest

I had a really hard time with this. My Grandpa was barely hanging on at this point, and the color photo was almost gruesome, because he'd lost so much weight and his skin was just a mess–tons of bruises, etc. *sigh* Plus, it's just sad, and I still miss him… But I think it will be an important photo for my sister and her son, nonetheless.Credits: Papers: Katie Pertiet (Designer Digitals, Web Challenge Freebie 6/22/08), Jackie Eckles (DD, Web Challenge 12/03/06), Jesse Edwards (DD, Chat Freebie 6/21/08, recolored), Heather T (Daisy Kit, recolored), and for the tag, Tia Bennet (2Peas, Springtime Fever Papers from the April 07 Freebie).

Journaling reads: “When Grandpa finally held little Erik, it was a reunion that spanned 100 years–a meeting between the oldest and youngest members of our family. Grandpa thanked God, and left us not too long after.”
