“Two Newlyweds: 1948, 2018” © Stu Jenks.
Both of their right arms are straight.
Both of their left arms are bent.
Both were raised and educated in The South.
Both were born into the Episcopal Church.
Both are lifelong Democrats.
One is cooking one of her first meals for her husband.
The other talks worriedly on the phone to her lawyer.
One deeply loved her husband til the day he died in 2001.
The other fiercely loves her husband today.
One photograph was taken 70 years ago.
The other was taken last month.
One is my mother.
The other is my wife.
