the sweetest things..... {Arizona Portrait Photographer}

One of the sweetest thing a human being can posses is the ability to hold and store memories.

I can honestly say today was easier than I had anticipated- you see, today is my Grams birthday

{for another couple of minutes or so anyway}

I lost her a few months back and it hit me pretty hard- prior to-i've never had a death that close to my circle, and it burst thet bubble of always having those around me without anything bad ever happening to them or myself- naive, I know, but I liked that bubble and it kept me safe for a while. Until she left anyway- it was sudden and not expected.

So today I woke up and the sweetest thing occured- as I was getting ready for church and putting on my sunday best- I heard a tiny little voice whispering"Angie let me see what you're wearing today"

and I turned around-though my dress wasn't as flouncy as she would like-  Ishowed it off anyway and I smiled from ear to ear like the grinch but much much prettier ;0)   my heart tinlged with joy- and just for that instant I was transported back in time and I spoke to her-as I twirled-and I was happy- I wasn't gloomy or sad-Ii didn't shed a tear or didn't stay in bed all day long and eat ice-cream,  instead I savoured the moment and realized the gift I had.

Memories are sweet and we should guard them like no other- for there will be times when that is all we have.

Today-go out and make a memory

whatever it is make it memorable and stamp it in your heart.
