This weeks photo challenge “Growth” really made me think and I had no clue what I would use as a photo. That is when I received an email from my friend Aly. I was so excited because it had pictures of her brand new baby girl, Aurora-Lea Anne. I started thinking a few years back and I can remember going to the hospital when her first baby, Jayme-Gwen, was born. As I stood there holding that baby in my arms I cried.
It was such a happy day for me. That sweet little baby is now a big sister and has grown up so much. When she calls me “Aunty Pammy” it is the best feeling in the world. I have not been able to go see them since my health started to decline because I no longer am driving. Therefore I was beyond shocked at how quickly the time goes by and how rapidly children grow in a blink of an eye. The innocence and pure love that children have is priceless and is so evident in this photo. I can already tell these little girls will be best buddies, just look at that adorable smile. Aurora will grow up knowing she is loved by her big sister!
Ahhh so cute!
Pamela… (“Aunty Pammy”)
What a perfect photo to illustrate growth. Not only is growth evident in these darling children, but I bet if you look….you have had growth as well. Focusing on the simple pleasures and joys of children requires taking a step back from yourself (that’s always growth in my book).
Thank you so much for your comment and I agree focusing on simple things and the joy and innocence of children truly is priceless.
