Very beautiful; thank you for letting us in. I'm reminded of the words of a local activist, Mel King, who died earlier this year at 94 -- "Love is the question and the answer."

How beautiful. I think hands are just as expressive as faces. ❤️

With my own parents, aging happened gradually for decades and then all at once.

I love this so much Stella, what a beautiful moment captured. I always find myself looking at my mums hands when I visit her. This is what seems to age as her face never seems to. She is blessed with the most young looking skin. I hope I've inherited that gene!

Thank you, Louise! I wish for you to have the same genes as your mom when it comes to skin. I, unfortunately, inherited my dad's so I'll definitely have those aged spots as I get older. They've started to appear in my arms and legs already.
