Picture Day

Today (Saturday) was a little worse. I’ve been shaky, off-balance, and slightly dizzy. It’s been a low-key day.

However, this became a fun and joyous day at 3 pm when the professional photo shoot began with my daughter’s family. We were all color-coordinated, thanks to Dana, in light blues, denim, pale green, and white. Her color choices were fortunate for me due to the single light blue and white three-quarter-sleeve blouse that I have. I paired it with light denim jeans, light blue sandals, and navy earrings. 

Let the photos begin! First were the parents with children’s shots; then, I was added. What followed were pictures of me with all my grandchildren, and then with each one. We ended the session with a picture of Dana, Joseph, and me.

And everyone was well-behaved. That is a lot to say for six children ranging in age from 6 months to 16 years, especially with two who have special needs.

As the grandma/grandchild pictures were taken, my heart was full. I thought about my family cherishing these memories when I am gone.

And the bonus? That I still have my hair, which might start falling out in the next couple weeks.
