Come walk with me, be not only my sister, but also my friend...


Come walk with me, be not only my sister, but also my friend...

When I look back at my chaotic and colorful life I question so much.  However, I would never wish to go back and take a separate path.  Doing so would result in erasing the rainbows that came from the storm.  

Today I was looking at this photograph, simply playing with a new editing tool.  But as I erased color, the true emotion came out.  I can picture Savannah's smile, even if I can't see her face.  I can imagine the way her eyes are lit up like sunshine as she looks at her brother.  I can see the emotion in how their arms are wrapped around one another and feel their love.  I can imagine Sam's slight grin and hear Savannah's laugh.  

My children are the best part of me, they are the color in my life.  The fact that life hasn't always been beautiful is my reality, but the beauty in this photograph is my blessing.  I love you sweet babies, to the moon and stars and back.
