guess this is the 6 month update!
I promised to share some pics that I have taken. I photographed a friend's three year old son right before Christmas. He is three years old and named Derek. I have always wanted to offer a session called, "A Day in the life" and spend a day candidly photographing a child's normal everyday events. I was able to do so with Derek and love what we captured. he is an amazing child who is wise beyond his years!
I told myself I would keep this current and I haven't. I know that life getting in the way is a flimsy excuse but sometimes...it just does. I just reread my last post and realized that the 6 months flew by!
Cassi's dad was in a motorcycle accident in late October and we visited daily until he was released (well demanded his release) from the hospital in mid-December. It was truly an eye-opening experience for both Cassi and I.
We saw and heard things that I just never imagined existed on a day to day basis. I have tremendous new respect for anyone who works in the medical field on a day to day basis. They are truly inspiring people. From the doctors, the nurses, the food servers, the elevator operators, the physical therapists and all the other people who work together to give quality care to those who need it...I am thankful.
The day after Scot was released from the hospital, he asked me to go back to pick up the charger for his cell phone. As I waited for the elevator to take me up to the eighth floor I realized how fortunate we were that he was walking and still alive to be there for Cassi. I realized there were many people in this hospital visiting relatives that weren't coming home. There were new patients being brought in that were just beginning their hospital stay. The workers at the hospital would still go about their routine giving care for others long after Scot's stay was a distant memory. We are fortunate and for that I am grateful. Hug your loved ones tonight because every day is a new day that we are blessed to be able to hug them.
Off my emotional tangent!!
