Precious Profiles
Canon 5D Mark ll, 50 1.2L, 1.8 aperture, 1/160 shutter, 100 ISO
I am gathering images and memories like precious sea shells this week, filling up my pockets and heart with them. There they glint and clink together happily, and I will bring them out one by one later to soothe the sore places. For this one, the light was perfect. I pulled the girls from their rooms where they were both packing and organizing their lives to take elsewhere. Aware of my fragile state, they both left what they were doing and complied. Ah, the profiles of my daughters. I love how the light clings to them. Wouldn’t you?

But wait.
Youngest but biggest brother came in to see what we were doing and immediately pulled them into a wrestling session. Before long, there were nearly grown arms and legs all in a playful tangle on the guest bed. I gleaned that memory too, as it sparkled with giggles and screams of delight. Love these images too.

Sweet Memories
I am hanging in there, keeping my heart open, gathering the memories. If I were to close it to the pain, I would miss all the joy too. The doors to my heart cannot filter out the pain alone. I have to keep them open for all life has to offer, and trust that God will take care of the things I cannot handle.
Hug someone you love tonight.:)

something about those profiles that makes me want to cry just a little.
