I wonder if she will remember this moment. The feeling of his vast hands cocooning hers. All the impetuous haste of youth, she had.
I can do it!
He tried to slow her down. To show her. With the wisdom of the knowing tortoise. (She didn’t listen, of course.)
I have saved it for her, anyhow. For later.
For when she is ready to remember. When she needs to understand who she was, and who she might be.

Beautiful and warming, and a wonderful pic.
thanks 🙂
Very beautiful post.
Thanks, Shimon for your lovely comment.
Oh I LoVe this!!! It is an odd fact(oid) of life, and a joy, that we may need to remember and understand who we were! This is beautiful – simple and unrushed, a stamp of your work. The pic is divine! 🙂
Thanks Gigi it is so true isn’t it that we don’t appreciate our memories until later, when they are mostly forgotten. It’s why I think photographs are so important, I think.
Simply beautiful …
Thank you, Anette!
Beautiful post, Emily. What was she photographing?
I had the rollei set up on a tripod and was photographing the children, and she wanted to take some pictures so I let her use my Lumix. Grandpa was trying to assist her but she was quite haphazard in her method!
Oh, this is just gorgeous – and so beautifully written.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked the picture, and the words.
A lovely idea! And the picture is wonderful – I see determination in those eyes.
Oh yes there is much determination!
So gorgeous Emily, and what a lovely thing to do for her..
Thank you, Cath! I hope one day she (and her brother) will look back at some of the pictures on this blog, and others, in the way that I did and still do look back at our family albums, and remember things, moments which might otherwise have been lost and forgotten.
