139 Hands
I have flown out of town as both of my parents managed to wind up in the hospital earlier this week. Yesterday my Dad was able to get in his wheelchair and go down the hall to visit with my Mom. It was excellent medicine.
And I would just like to whine one minute and say I hate dealing with a 3 time zone change!

Very moving shot--that is what photography is all about.

This shot is very tender. A moment shared by mates when one is hurting. Wonderful. You depicted it well. The time zones will go back to normal when you head home. Right now, your parents need you, regardless of your needs at the moment. Hang in there. And this too will pass.
