FLASH FICTION FRIDAY 55
"AGE: SIXTEEN"Grandmother had died a year earlier after 70 years of marriage when grandfather came to visit.
I stood in my prom gown at the top of the stairs.
From below Grandfather gazed and began to weep.
"Why are you crying?", I asked.
He choked out, "You look exactly like your grandmother the day we married."

Sweet story! Fact or Fiction? Photo, really you or not?
Inquiring minds want to know!!!
This is actually 'fact', not fiction, and -NO- that picture is not of me, but the dress is very similar to the one I wore that night.
I have pretty much forgotten the prom itself, but I will always remember the dress and my grandfather's reaction as I came down the stairs. Touched my heart in a very deep way.

awwww....tears of joy, I hope...
We can always count on a poignant one from you, PG!
What a lovely memory. I know your grandfather cried, but it blessed his heart to see your grandmother still alive in you.
Oh my PG I still have no idea how week after week you out do yourself; this is beautiful, evocative without being schmatlzy but just lovely and real...much like you!!!
