picture


so we got family pics taken late summer and i wanted to share this picture with you. i also added this email i sent the photographer (wildflowerphotos.com). there is one picture amongst MANY amazing ones that pierced my heart.

joy,
i know i expressed to you the joy your photos have brought me but there is one particular pictures that sings to my heart the most and i just wanted to let you know. it is a picture that embodies so much for me. mothering emersen has been quite the adventure for me. with her diagnosis with lymes at times i feel like i am looking in the mirror and although that is a wonderful gift to have understanding it has been my biggest challenge as a mother thus far. understanding her quirks and pain and will and also struggling with what I have given her...what God willed for her to have. i just loathe that she suffers. when we went through the dvd of pictures, i stopped at this one picture and tears started streaming down my face...jarrod put his hand on my back and said 'i see it.' this picture is ALL my love and ALL my pain wrapped up for her. it is how i see her...how i ache for her and how i get tangled up in her beauty. i hope with all my heart she can look at that picture when she is older and my love screams out at her.

i just wanted to thank you. thank you for taking it...capturing it.
i love you so...
