Capturing the lines of love
I've never been the kind of person to say, "it's the thought that counts" when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew me away.
For years now, I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I1our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a 2. In the front room, there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, 3 the progress of my children's growth. Every growth 4 is marked in grey, with each child's name and the date they were 5.

Over several hours, she took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints, and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those 18of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image(影像),19 them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me – a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that20 entire lifetimes of love and growth.
