Today I was out grabbing some lunch wen I noticed the man standing in line in front of me, his wallet in particular.
Now before you think that sounds like I’m some sort of pickpocket zoning in for the steal, I’m not. What caught my attention was the photo of the beautiful elderly lady smiling a huge, genuine smile. When my eyes followed to where he was sitting, I discovered the woman also sitting there; it appeared she was his wife. They were both in their 70′s at least, if not older. Put simply, they both just looked right together, and it made me wonder about the photo in his wallet.
Did he do it because he loves her? Because he’s proud? Or because it’s just the thing to do?
I don’t carry a photo of anyone in my wallet except myself – my drivers license.
I don’t have kids so I don’t have any school photos I can cut out and put in there. I could add a photo of C, or my dog, but somehow the effort of finding a picture, printing it out and then displaying it my wallet has just never occurred to me before. I know C doesn’t have anything of me in his either, but his dog is the background on his phone.
Does that mean phone wallpapers are the wallet photos of the 00′s and 10′s?
Do people just not do wallet photos anymore?
Do you have a photo in your wallet of a loved one? If so, why?
