Epiphany


What does this photo say to you?

It didn't say much to me either at first.

But, when I looked further it said everything I needed to know.

The man in the picture is George Burns - American comedian, actor, and writer. He had a radio, later tv, show with his wife Gracie Allen. If you notice, George is visiting some sort of tomb/mausoleum, or something of that nature. It turns out he is visiting his wife's, Gracie Allen, memorial. The two were married for 38 years before her death. And George visited her memorial once a month for 32 years until his own death.

I'm not sure if it's just the story behind the picture or just the picture or a combination of both, but I came to a real epiphany. I realized the only thing that will ever matter in this life is to be with those you love. Whether it be your sister, your parents, your boyfriend, your friend... They are the only ones that matter. They are what gets us through this life. Spend as much time with them as possible.
