Old Family photos ROCK!

The first 7 years of my life were complicated. Another story for another day. However, one of my biological half sisters passed away in May and the floodgates of memories...good memories....were opened. Old family photos have resurfaced and have helped me so much. When I saw this photo of Laurie and I, I about exploded with happiness. I'm 5 and I'm a happy, normal, proud big sister! I am wearing my WHITE GO-GO BOOTS! I LOVED those boots! It was a relief to remember something besides the sadness of those days.


This second picture helps me see myself in my own daughters...it helps me feel a part of something bigger. I am finally beginning to put my experiences into perspective and seeing the hand of the Lord in my life even clearer. It is really true, a picture does say 1000 words.
