A month ago we said our temporary goodbyes to our Shawn. I remember wanting to capture every detail and every moment with my camera but most importantly with my heart.
Can you see the worry in my mother-eyes?
So many details that I wanted to remember ...
And as I snapped the photos and tried to stay in the moment, moments of motherhood came flooding back .... like when I would hold these very hands so tightly when he was a little boy to keep him safe as we crossed a busy street or when I would hold them just because that is what Mommys of little ones do - wishing all the while that we could hold and keep them safe forever.
I miss you Shawn.
I am so thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving Sweetie.
Love,
Mom
I was thinking about you ... so I decided to visit!!! I am praying peace for you and your family this Thanksgiving!! ..... May the days pass every so quickly.. until that precious son of yours is home again!!!!!Terri
