Easter Guest

July 1997 our father passed away. Ten months later, May 1998 our mother passed away. This picture was taken on, the first Easter Sunday, after our mother had passed away. Just when things were starting to wrap up. All of us were sitting on the porch chatting. My husband came around the corner of the porch. And took this photo. There are only 3 of us sitting in there. The "P"'s are the people. And the "X" is where noone was sitting. It was taken with an instamatic camera. As you can see it's a little odd. None of the other photographs taken that day were messed up. So it wasn't the camera or the film. Notice the wisps and orbs throughout the photo? Also that fall my niece, sitting on the floor, the closest "P" on the left, was diagnosed with cancer. After few hard and terrible years of struggle & fighting the cancer, she was taken from us as well. While a lot of guesses have been made as to who it is: Some of us believe that it's our late Father, because he would always sit in that rocking chair. Others of us believe it is our mother as well, because she always sat there beside him. Both of our parents wore glasses, dad once in awhile, mom most all the time. And our dad had black hair & mustache, mom had long brown. The image seems to be wearing glasses & dark hair, also there looks to be a mustache. I myself think it was both of them, visiting us on that Easter afternoon. Odd that none of us chose to sit there?
