My family and I was out taking pictures and at the back of this graveyard is a beautiful and peaceful lake with wonderful autumn colored trees. As we drove through I saw this headstone and instantly though about time passing. I know some of you may be wondering what does this photograph have to do with time passing. It’s all about the fact that she is still alive. Here, put to rest is her husband as she continues on with her journey. With her every lasting love for him engraved on their headstone, when her journey ends they will be together once again.
When I was editing the photo the song, “Unchained Melody”, came to mind.

Unchained Melody
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time.
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much,
Are You Still Mine?
I need your love, I need your love,
God speed your love to me!
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me!"
I'll be coming home, wait for me!
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much,
Are You Still Mine?
I need your love, I need your love,
God speed your love to me!
Lonely mountains gaze at the stars, at the stars,
Waiting for the dawn of the day.
All alone, I gaze at the stars, at the stars,
Dreaming of my love for away.
Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time.
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much,
Are You Still Mine?
I need your love, I need your love,
God speed your love to me!

The dates on the headstone make this a little creepy to think about- she's only 52 and we're talking about her ending her journey already? He died at 44 and now, what... she's just passing the time till she dies? Well, to each their own.
As for the image itself, definitely fits the challenge, nice choice to go black & white.
