Hard worker

These are my dh's hands. He repairs welders for a living and his hands suffer for it. He constantly has to get them into tight places and use tools and his hands to screw on and attach parts. His hands are permanently discolored from the welders and coal mines he goes to.

They are always cracked and he can't seem to find any product that works well because he uses his hands again the next day and ~ same problem. I feel bad for him because they cause him quite a bit of discomfort. But I am so thankful that I have such a hardworking husband who

loves and provides for his family. CC welcome and appreciated.

Oh I love what you captured here. The journaling is terrific. I just love men that earn a living with their hands.

Wow, the 2nd shot is so touching. Reminds me of my dad, who was a mechanic for years. My DH is a mason so his hands are always rough too & he swears by Hemp hand protector from the Body Shop.

I do love the second shot... These hands are so beautiful... and I think that nothing is more beautiful than hands which had worked and suffered... My dad worked all his life wood with his hands and today, they are so beautiful.
