New Favorite

I love this picture so much. I took it last Sunday at my nieces' 1st communion mass. My dad was holding Jaclyn throughout the entire mass and I could only concentrate on the little ways in which they bonded.

He held her little hand and she would stare at him and smile.

He kissed her little forehead and she rested on his chest.

This picture is full of so many ties and bonds and connections to everything I call home. This picture means, hold onto me because I will always be there for you.
This picture means you are safe with those who truly love you.
This picture gives me so much hope, and I'm so glad I captured something that would save my diminishing belief in something I thought I had a hold on.

In a life where everything fades, this is one thing that is indelible, love that is steadfast and genuine.
