Will's Favorite Photo
Note: Take a good look at the photo before reading the story.

My husband and son were quietly rough housing while waiting on our turn for a special appointment. A recent game of "don't hit yourself" was a popular choice for our son and he would battle with his dad in fun.

Every time we have looked at the photos from this day, Will has gotten excited about this specific photo. I dismissed his choice, thinking he was just being silly. But he was persistent.

He begged me to print his photo for him. In frustration over his hang up on a bad photo instead of the better one just before it, I said, "Why do you like this one?"

I will never forget how I felt when he replied, "Mom, It's my favorite one, because I'm blowing you a kiss."
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
