[quote=SmileysPerson] There we are, smiling into the camera, the four of us. A lie.
You go too far. Not a lie, SP. Different today? Yes, and I wish you weren't hurting. But it was true and goodness when those smiles were time stamped...not a lie.
True, but it's also true that looking at those old photos through a different lens changes everything. It's amazing when one looks at old photos how what knowing now what one didn't know then changes their meaning... but, to your point, they weren't lies at the time... and, the thing about photos is they can be imbued with different meanings by different people, and, through the passage of time different meanings by the same people, too...

Truth is truth. And hindsight isn't always 20/20 b/c one brings today's perspective to yesterday - and that does indeed change the look of things...but not the Truth.
So when I look at pics of Coach, me and the little team, knowing now what I didn't know then, I still know that we were a family then, loved each other - no matter what was coming. It wasn't a "lie".
