Yesterday, I took Ell to get her 5 year portraits taken and one of the outfits that we took was a white spring dress. It still fits and I have to say, there is something adorable and beautiful about a little one dressed in all white and in bare feet... I love it! Anyway, the photographer has her sit on her knees with her back towards the camera and look back over her shoulder. As the photographer was fixing and adjusting her clothes I had a flash, not of my 5 year old princess, but of the future. I saw Ell sitting there in her 20s, stunningly beautiful, and dressed in white... My little girl all grown up. It took my breath away for a split second and it was everything I could do to prevent everyone from seeing me tear up.
Normally, we have flash backs and can get lost in memories. This time of year that usually happens to me because of Ell's birthday but this was such a gift, so unexpected.
