Sweet Shot Tuesdays

Sweet Shot Day


When we moved across the US last August,
I knew saying goodbye to family and friends would be difficult.
I knew my 4 year old would have the hardest time with it.
Leaving behind her best friend, who just happened to be 84 years old,
proved to be {even today} quite painful.
Crista spent every Wednesday with Jean.
From 9am until 7pm.
Every Wednesday since around her first birthday.
Crista still sheds tears for her Jean, even now at 7 months later.
And its on those very special days when there is a surprise letter waiting for Crista in the mailbox
that Crista feels especially close to Jean.
Its one of those drop-everything-you're-doing-right-where-you-are kind of moment.
Tearing open the letter to see what's inside.
Crista lives for these moments.
And I just happen to capture it this week :-)
