Chuck and Bobbie Miller had been married over 55 years in December 2008 when their daughter Patty snapped a photo at the hospital. Chuck passed away a few weeks later. Patty, as a gift to her mother, commissioned this drawing from the photo.

Some time during the process of trying to get an uncompressed digital file of the photo to me, Patty began referring to the picture as "The Sweetest Kiss." The title is appropriate for this gentle sweet moment.
