This is a very sweet, precious story.

"The bittersweet moment of saying goodbye to loved ones has been documented by a Cleveland photographer in a new photo series which movingly captures his father’s life and death.

In 2013 Angelo Merendino started taking photographs of his parents waving goodbye on their Akron doorstep after every visit. He didn't realize how poignant the series would become until his father died in May 2014 and his parents joint appearances on the porch slipped away to his mother’s solitary wave farewell.

His photos capture the emotional moment that most of us will experience during the holidays - the combination of happiness at our time spent with loved ones but also our reluctance to see them walk out the door."

This is so sweet and sad. My parents live far away, and it becomes harder each time I visit...to say goodbye. I don't know if I'll ever see both of them together, ever again.
