sirmoonie? I was flipping through the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday, Feb. 22, 2002 as I drank my morning coffee when I just happened to catch these faces before I turned the page and continued on. I don't even know what I'm looking at yet. It's some ungodly hour, like 10 am.
Something haunted me though. Even as I slogged through the paper in my half-a-coma just-waking-up state, those two faces stuck with me. The sadness. The pain. With just a hint of anger, perhaps. They had looked like nice enough people. Grandparents, no doubt. Light jackets, casual shirts. Everyday Folk. They stood angled towards each other, the way couples do who have been married Lo, these many years, standing as a united front, being there for each other. I smiled at that. That's what made an impression with me, too. That's how it should be with people, but it's rare sometimes.
Whatever happened had to be serious. Had some fiend kidnapped a grandchild? Had some doctor misdiagnosed a cancer - now grown into an out of control, Geraldo Rivera-like mess? I had to know. I flipped back and found the photo again.http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Boyardee.html
