Despite this, I am tempted to make these public for very private reasons. The pictures are bordered by the last photos I took of my parents before their deaths; my father?s over seven years ago and my mother?s last Sunday. My father never saw my third child as he died in another country three weeks after Jack?s birth; however, they share the same name, which may present the young lad with a bit of a challenge to live up to. My mother, though well into her 80?s kept her faculties and creativity to the end, presenting me with her latest books at Christmas; however, she knew her time had come and welcomed death as an end. Sandwiched between these two photos are pictures mainly of my little boy and my wife, though my daughter (though not my eldest son), half-sister and husband, father in law, step-mother and niece?s husband also appear, as do a few friends and myself. http://johnbeeching.com/portrait/album/index.html http://alturl.com/izh8 http://alturl.com/rz73 http://alturl.com/4e8m John -- John Beeching http://johnbeeching.com/
