First and Last…
February 14, 2010
I never imagined that I would actually have the first and last photos ever taken of Peter and I. But I do.
The first photo was taken on one of our very first “dates.” It’s a self-timer photo! Thank you God for camera’s with a self timer!! By the way we were dressed, obviously our date was VERY casual! It was really more like “hanging out.”
One of my favorite memories ever with Peter happened on this night! He turned on Bruce Springsteen’s “Drive all Night,” cranked it up, and we slow danced in his apartment for the first time – lights out, with the moonlight seeping in through the venetian blinds.
I’d never heard this song before… but it rocked my world! It was the most romantic dance of my life! EVER!
We didn’t even kiss that night… if you can believe it! We hadn’t even had our first kiss yet. That came later!
The last photo was taken 3 weeks before my husband of almost 19 years… went home.
In all honestly, I cropped out the kids that were in the background. I guess i wanted to indulge a little and make my own Valentine! This is it!
so beautiful, pati.. you and peter are meant to be together forever.. i am thinking of you often and hoping for you always. hope to ‘see’ you one of these days. bless and hugs
So gorgeous Pati. Both of them.
Beautiful… so beautiful!
Pati,
I went to mass tonight with Gregg and the girls. I could not stop thinking of you, Peter and the kids. There was a man in church that looked like Peter! I could not take my eyes off of him.
Thinking of you always and looking forward to seeing you in July! Wow…you and Peter..so darn cute!!
xoxo
So very precious. I wonder how many Valentine gifts Peter will have saved up for you until your next dance, with heavenly light seeping through gates of pearl? ;o) Love you guys. K
Wow Pati, what a blessing, Thank you for sharing.
Love you, Bambi
Beautiful Pati, absolutely beautiful!
This is the perfect image of love! I so enjoyed visiting with you tonight and wanted to let you know you and your family are in my prayers.
These pics make me cry.
There is a ‘heart shape’ in the second pic where your chins meet…. that’s what makes me cry.
This is so beautiful Pati! It brought tears to my eyes.
What an amazing romance & love it sounds like you guys had. God is so sweet when He blesses you with such a beautiful love. Not everyone has that chance in life. Praying for you and your children. Blessings and hugs!
These are both beautiful and amazing moments that were captured!
oh my word…words can’t describe the impact….you are so beautiful Pati! Honestly!! amazing…
Patti these pictures are beautiful! they brought tears to my eyes, you wil always cherish the time you shared with ur husband, may his memory always be with u & ur children <3
Hi Pati… what an amazing photo of you and Peter — I love it and am so glad you have it to hold on to! It is a good example of how “priceless” a photograph is, … as you know. I browsed through your blog, and as every time,… you AMAZE me! Your words, your work — unbelievable! I don’t know where time goes, but know I think of you and miss you.
