This Girl

August 16, 2012

This girl.

She’s a firecracker. She’s a siren. She’s a bright vision. She’s a shooting star.

She’s the wisps of imagination. She’s the spiral of a storm. She’s the words of an ancient muse.

She’s sunlight. She’s chiming bells. She’s tender fingertips. She’s whispers of grace.

She heals me.

This girl.

She’s been breathing on this earth for four years now. This week we celebrated each of those breaths. With my heart in her hand. With her joy in my tears. And the bellow of burning love in our souls.

My girl is 18 now and oh treasure these early years as they go by way too fast.
The amazing bond you have now becomes more beautiful as you both grow older together.I miss the younger years but I still get a melting heart when my girl and I have our special times,talks and cuddles.
Thankyou for sharing your sunshine and bringing warmth to my heart.xx

We so loved that you were there to celebrate with us, Kate! Can’t get over how gorgeous Chatterbox’s face was in the ‘candle blowing’ series of photos. ;)
