I ♥ Hands: Mother and Daughter


Music had always been an integral part in their lives, but old age with its accompanying ailments had made it increasingly difficult for Grandma to be able to play her beloved organ. This duet of mother and daughter playing, "Pachelbel's Canon" on the piano was a moving experience for all of us in attendance. I was thrilled to capture this beautiful moment, which unbeknown to us at the time, would be their last duet in this lifetime.

Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces for amazing hand entries this week.
