I took this shot because the Amateur photographer in me recognized the elements of what might turn out to be a good photo. It was only many years after it was taken did I come to appreciate what a powerful shot it was. The subjects are my wife Willa, my daughter Nicola and my son Jack. My family. My wife leading our children, hand in hand, along this road at our cottage, is a metaphor, a representation of the best thing about me.

My life has value because I am a father, because I am a husband, because I am part of this family. The prospect of losing my place, of not remembering this road, my wife or my children is something I can't bring myself to contemplate.

This memory, this photo is priceless. It captures a time, when we were younger, stronger and just beginning our journey on life's long road.
