Miss Lily & Mel

Her eyes grew larger. Her mouth dropped open. She started to smile. Miss Lily oohed and aahed in amazement as we traveled not on the normal asphalt anymore but across the bumpy field to get to our photo destination. It was a short ride but for an almost two year old, it was an epic adventure. Mom and Nena laughed with love as they watched the smile start to form on Lily’s face. Pop was in the Jeep behind us having his own adventure.

Mel is a friend of my husband who welcomed me with an open heart and open arms. She is loving, caring, and beautiful. Watching her interact with Lily makes you smile because you know Lily not only has a forever friend but a forever support. Everyone deserves a forever support. Someone who lifts you up when you are down. Someone who makes you smile when you just can’t. Someone who will listen when you have no idea what is going on. Forever…support. As Lilly played Mel sat back and a warm smile came across her face. Telling you that all is right with the world when she looks at her little girl.

Mel, your love shines in all that you do. Continue to let that love light the way and allow it to provide that forever support. You learned from the best examples. Your parents love and support for you shines in their actions and their faces. Just like when you look upon Lily so they too smile when they look upon you. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and support. Thank you for letting me join the fun with you, your parents, and Miss Lily. She is absolutely adorable!
