Day 148 – Poetic Photo

Heather’s husband sent me a family photo with the kids and grandkids they all just took. I was so happy to have received it. They all look so amazing. Not only are they a beautiful family indeed but they look genuinely happy. It is so refreshing to know that they are able to find happiness when and where they can. I can only imagine that this was not completely easy as I think this may be the first family photo since Heather passed. I am proud of them for making this happen and finding a way to smile through it and take comfort in the love of each other.

I love how the dad is in the middle with the family surrounding him - that just looks so loving to me. For today’s intention I decided to write a poem about what I see. It’s not long. I just wanted to write in a different way about this photo. I hope you enjoy it…

With beautiful smiles they stand together

A family united, though still missing Heather

Through this storm - they have stayed so strong

Although some nights may still seem long

Right in the middle the dad beams with pride

With his loving family, surrounding every side

Arms all around and hands held tight

This family is still so full of life

When you see this photo- you can just feel the love

And imagine the smile, shining above.
