that is all.flood of sadness

i just made our flights
to drop her off at college.

so now there is this
flood of sadness
that has settled
deep within my heart.
i am so excited for her and so sad for us.

because the dreams
are getting mixed with reality
and this next chapter
is right around the corner.
that is all.

salt in my coffee (honest reflections).no tears on the eve

even though i missed her very first day of school
(because that was also luke’s very first day of school),
i will not miss her last.

but i will miss her
when the fall rolls around
and our house is a lot more quiet
and a lot less fun
and a lot less messy
and a lot less creative.
oh, how i will miss this girl.

treasure.

i have been photographing this treasure
since she was in the womb.

she is one of my most favorite humans.
and
she says my name as “Hillarys”
which is just about the most delightful thing
in all the world.

For where your treasure is,
there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:21

salt in my coffee (honest reflections).firsts+lasts

when they are young,
it is a lot of firsts.
and then they grow up
and it is still a lot of firsts.

but also a lot of lasts.
lasts in the way things are.
it is all changing.
and you find yourself longing for the simpler days
that really were anything but simple.
so, you embrace the right now
with both arms.
open wide.
