Like many who play this game, I have stumbled across a photo of a forgotten moment. We were living in another house in the same village I mentioned in the last post. Hugo had arrived and I remember the big shift in my relationship with Elsa. I could no longer spend all my time with her, and quite often she played second fiddle to a difficult baby brother who wasn't always well, to the point of a few hospital admissions. Elsa was so good, and so patient and so helpful. I felt quite a bit guilty really. This photo is of a very special moment, because it's just Elsa and me. Hanging out. Having a tea party. In her sweet little bedroom. Look at her adorable little face. It sure does makes me smile...I can use that right now.
Rather than tag six people - why don't you play along too - see where it takes you. And let me know so I can see where you go.
those are two wonderful smiles!
ReplyDeleteIt's tricky when you have to start sharing your availability....I felt a fair bit of grief over that when I had my second daughter seven years after the first.
Now all three get their hugs but I feel like I should be squeezing a few more hugs in.
Lovely picture. I remember feeling it before my second was born, that awful feeling realising that I would be seperated from my firstborn for the first time when I went into hospital. My husband was spent a lot of time with the eldest in the following months which was a good thing for them both.
ReplyDeleteI went to my 6th folder....and it only has 3 pictures!
the sadness of this week has been overwhelming - and reflection is foremost in my thoughts. lovely post michelle you have a beautiful way with words - thank you
ReplyDeleteI'm not really up to posting this week - each day is filled with the after affects of the fires. Today I woke early at 5.30 with the smell of smoke through the house, nothing dangerous to us, just smoke from distant fires. But it was disturbing and made me anxious...it's a hard time. Simple things are good right now, cooking, chooking, cuddling kids, being together, x ps love the photo
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet photo of a sweet moment!
