Legacy That Lives On Today
Young grandparents
I dream of what you both were like when you smiled in this photo.
You raised seven beautiful children,
five sons and two daughters.
I know you would be proud of them all and their children, too.
It makes me smile knowing you both were happy in this photo.
There’s a part of me that wishes I could travel back in time,
just to shake the younger version of your hands.
What did your laugh sound like when you were younger?
What things got on your nerves?
I’m proud of your hard-work and commitment to one another,
it sure paid off,
and lives on in the legacy that I witness today.

Thirty (one) and Neither Flirty nor Thriving.
I'm thirty-one and orbiting the same few mistakes like they're landmarks. London is already awake before I am (or before I've slept) - sirens somewhere far enough to ignore, buses sighing at stops, people moving with purpose I can't quite borrow. I lie there for a bit, tasting last night at the back of my throat, trying to remember if I meant to drink that much or if it just...happened again.

Family is all that matters. ❤️
A beautiful snapshot of life and a treasured keepsake. Something that you can show your grandkids and they can show to theirs too. ❤️💫
