Greatness

"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different." - Coco Chanel

True Love

Sunday; a sixtieth wedding anniversary.  The following Saturday; a wedding. Contrast as stark as a black and white photograph balanced by the sanctity of their vows.

Everyone around them holds hands, humbled by the power of true love.
