blowing out candles



this is a photo of a photo from a slide: dusty, discoloured and precious.
it was taken long ago, in the days when my son and i had only been acquainted for a matter of months but loved each other already with the unwavering certainty of destiny.
it's his birthday today.
i hope life fulfills him as constantly as it has me.

  3. I found your site just this last week. I absolutely love the pictures. TODAY though I am up early and emailing my son who is 22 today. Then I opened your site. Here is the picture of you and your son. How cool is that? I sent my son to check this out also. Thank you for the beautiful pictures.Diane Lynn

  4. Love the article, and I can only hope for the same. Not sure about the photo, though. I must've had better moments than that...
    Still: Thanks!!

  6. What a sweet little lip - just a split second away from a good cry, I suspect. Happy birthday to your son - what a lovely gift from you!
