lovable subtle details

I think there's a picture of them together at least during the scene following Bobby's birth. This just emphasizes how sad it is that Jack and Ennis don't have photos of each other... or together. It seems to emphasize how invisible their love was to society.

I often thought that Jack's mother would have given Ennis a picture if Jack. But since he didn't garduate high school, the may not have had a school picture of him older than a boy and the only others would be with Lureen and Bobby.

This is a BBM confession prompted by the above posts about photos, sorry it is OT but I'm sure it will do me good to get it off my chest: I have several soppy fantasy versions of what happens to Ennis after the end of the story & in one, he gets a package from Lureen with a couple of photos of Jack but also photos of him (Ennis) taken by Jack on one of their trips when he smuggled a camera along (he couldn't let Ennis know as Ennis would have smashed it up). And there is even one of them both together when Ennis was sleeping and Jack managed to set up a timer. Aaahhhh...Not sure if it would make Ennis feel better but I like the idea, as evidenced by going to the trouble of inventing a convoluted story to engineer it. I really do question my sanity some days :laugh:

Hey, nic:
That's a great idea for a fanfic, if you ever felt inclined to pursue it. It could be one way among many "to finish the story" in your own life.

Soppy? Maybe, but them I'm guilty if being soppy, too. I too wish so hard for Ennis to have some pictures of Jack :'(
And I like your idea of Lureen sending Ennis a package with pics.
