There are moments in life when it is important to look back to the past and remember your most heartwarming moments! That is precisely what happened when Amy Buchan Kavelaras visited her grandmother to help her move house. While sorting through dusty old boxes, Amy stumbled upon a box Ruth stuffed away years before.
Amy convinced Ruth into opening the box. Inside it, there was Ruth's wedding dress. Amy persuaded Ruth to put it on. Ruth's daughter (Amy's mom) was there with her camera and captured the moment.
As soon as Amy returned home, she ran to her computer! She wanted to share the picture her mom took of Grandma Ruth, as it was a story everyone would love.
Amy wrote:
"While packing up my grammy's house to move her into an assisted living facility next month, we found her wedding dress in her attic!
63 years later she tried it on, and it still fits!
This is a picture of her holding her original wedding photo from 1953.
My mom (their daughter) is taking this picture, and you can see her face reflecting off the glass. My Grandma Ruth stayed married to my Grandpa Jack his entire life until he died in 2000.
She misses him every day. They had a love that spanned the ages.
People should know this kind of love is real and is worth waiting for."
Losing her husband was one of the toughest things Ruth ever had to endure. Opening that box was a bittersweet reminder of his absence. It was courageous of Ruth to try on her old dress and show the world what love truly feels like - and my, does she look stunning!
Thank you for sharing this powerful picture, Amy.
She is beautiful, thanks for sharing the post
