Mother and Daughter

Mother and Daughter

Submitted by: Downhome
640 Views | 4 Likes

I took this photo of a mother and daughter from the MV Atlantic Vision (July 28th, 2022 crossing from Argentia to Sydney) enjoying their last Newfoundland sunset of their summer vacation. They were from Calgary or Edmonton and it was their first time visiting Newfoundland - I had overheard them talking to someone about their trip before I took this photo (and while I was busy taking other sunset shots). Her daughter was so excited talking about Cape Spear and seeing the puffins, and her mom was just beaming listening to her tell the stories to a stranger. Later I overheard the mother telling another passenger on board in the lounge about how she came to find and adopt her daughter and how it changed her life so much for the better. The boat isn't really that big I guess, and I when I seen her chatting I listened, I had an interest in their story by now. I had all plans and intentions of sharing this photo with her afterwards, I was hoping that she would like it and that I could send it to her so she could have the memory. It seemed like it was a pretty special moment and end to their trip. Regrettably I never did go over and talk to her, I guess I felt like there were too many people around. But I thought I would definitely have a chance do it in the morning, reasoning with myself that I would see them on the way out. As is usually the case the opportunity didn't present itself twice and now I'm just stuck with a nice looking photo I guess? I do wish I could have shared this moment with them and that it would have meant something to them rather than me just having this photo and story of hoping to share it. -Chris Donnelly St. John's   Submitted By: NULL
