Dave:

Nice thread subject. I was wondering if you would get many takers on this thread. Not many here want to open up that much... maybe for good reason. I debated, but I will put one out there.

My son did not like having his picture taken, so I would have to sneak pictures of him. Here is one of him with a smirk on his face because he caught me sneaking a shot at Christmas. It is not a particularly good picture (especially technically), but it is his last picture at his last Christmas. He died suddenly in a car crash last year, so this picture has become the one that evokes the most emotion from me, and the one I cherish and look at the most. Please do not think I am looking for sympathy... I am not, this is just part of my story and life over the last year and a half. I am sure there are others out there.
