I found what makes a picture worth a thousand words....

It's life. It's about making memories, because you never know if you have tomorrow.
This picture is worth a thousand words, because there is nothing I can say.  
Nothing we can say to his wife and 8 children that lost their Dad this morning.
When it all comes down to it, on a day like today no one cares about what camera you had or how much you know about photography. On a day like today that all means nothing.
It's being greatful for the memories we have of him, and wishing we had another chance to make more.
I would never have even noticed this picture until today, never would have thought this picture would make me cry and ache, and be the best picture I have ever taken.
This group of 3 men will never have the chance to sing again until heaven...but when they are reunited, I think it will be one of God's favorite trios. Not because of how great they sounded, but because of their faithfulness, courage, boldness, and testimony.
We lost a hero today. We lost a fun, kind, smart, loving servant.
But heaven gained...
We will miss you, Mr. Parfitt. But you went the way you lived. 
Helping others. Witnessing. Sacrificing.
Thank you for teaching me a life long lesson about photography and life in general...I will never forget.
