The weather is getting hotter and I’m cleaning out P’s closet. The packing away of sizes 18-24mos makes me sad. I love how fast she’s growing but this little P in the picture above is gone. Her essence remains but that little hand is now bigger.
The picture was taken on P’s first birthday. It brings back many memories…both good and bad. It was only a year and a half ago but it feels like decades have passed. P is with one of her closest friends K. K and her older sister E are like family to P. They are her role models and I feel immensely blessed to have them in our lives. They are the kind of girls I’d be proud to have as my daughters. So, to have them influence my child is like striking gold. For reasons I am aware of, and many I suspect I am not, this picture moves me to tears.
