I was just rummaging through some drawers and found a photo I hadn't come across in quite sometime. Wow! This was exactly 14 years ago! How time flies! A picture is worth a thousand words but just in case you can't tell what happened the sign reads "I'm proposing...PLEASE HONK!". We drove the 401 with that on the car unbeknownst to me! My boyfriend then stopped at the busiest intersection in Cambridge at a gas station and proposed on one knee surrounded by a cacophony of car horns. How does a girl not say a resounding "YES!" to that? It was pretty awesome and very unexpected. 

All these years and two kids later, it's pictures like this that make me stop in my tracks, slowdown from the busyness of motherhood and the solo-preneur task list and remember the simple days of just us, what this union means to me, how lucky I am and how we need to pay attention to each other.

Do you have a funny engagement story? What makes you stop and take inventory? Please share your comments, I'd love to hear from you!

Everyone is different. Look closely and you will see the variations in size, age and print clarity.

Teardrop with single senior adult fingerprint.

Young Adult fingerprints female and male.

Please Note: I have come across a few instances when the fingerprints are diminished in people being treated for cancer.

Sometimes you get discouraged, because I am so small And leave my little fingerprints On furniture and walls. But everyday I'm growing And soon will be so tall That all these little fingerprints Will be difficult to recall. So here's a little handprint That you can put away So you will know how my fingers looked On this special day.
