Always By My Side

By Barb Gordon

Barb and supportive husband

 What surprised me most about this simple image was the unexpected emotional response I had to it.

I wanted to do a Christmas card in 2007, in a new style that I wanted to offer at my photography studio. So I asked Images by Laura to come out to our farm and photograph us in the snow. It even snowed real nice for us too.

This image represents my husband as my best friend, patient, consistant, and always by my side.

At one point I was disappointed that he didn’t treat me any differently than before the diagnosis. I guess I thought I deserved sympathy or something. But in the long run what I appreciated the most about him was that he was exactly the same everyday giving me stabiltiy and a rock to lean on.
