Porizkova started her moving tribute by noting that it had been two years since her husband’s passing. Then she shared the context of the photo as well as the meaning of its location. Porizkova explained:
“This photo is from our last vacation. Cafe Du Monde. He brought me here for many years to celebrate the day we met, May 4th, 1984.”

The portable drinks were popular among the couple. Porizkova said that they had been drinking too much and couldn’t find their way back home after they finished.
