Five now.


This picture makes me cry. I cry now because I know that I will look back at this picture later, and cry then. That this picture to me is her youth, her innocence, her joy. I know there will come a day when she will be so altered from this. That the child will barely be recognizable in the woman that she will become. Looking at this photo I know I will miss this child. So loving. So soft. Living in a world where her mother's love is enough to make her feel special.

I know that I will ache to have her back.

I would keep this 5 year-old forever. I wish I could.
