Love In Its Purest Form

Many decades ago I received the picture below as a gift from my two oldest boys. They were but wee lads then, all those years ago. They spent the little money they had saved on me instead of buying something for themselves.

I absolutely love this picture. Maybe the old sailor is great-grandpa to the three little girls. Perhaps he’s returning from a long, extended fishing voyage. Maybe he’s was lost at sea or shipwrecked and his granddaughters dearly missed him. I can only imagine what the artist had in mind while painting. Whatever their intention, the theme is that of love in its most purest form. Love given by a child. 

This is truly one of my fondest earthly treasures. It goes wherever I go. 

My boys are now 40 & 42, yet I still love this picture as much as the day they gifted it to me. Love in its purest form.
