The finish of the start. The starting of the remainder.

Today is Hailey’s first day in their senior yr so we went out of doors to take our annual picture and I were given somewhat teary once I instructed Hailey that this it is going to be my ultimate time taking a first-day-of-school picture. The glance on their face once I stated that used to be of pleasure, and sweetness and worry and it used to be the very best picture in that second:

And they stated that they might ask their roommate to take an image of them for me on their first day of faculty, which used to be really nice however I defined that most definitely I’d be there too, secretly taking an image with a telephoto lens in order that they’d privateness and may are living their lifestyles with autonomy however that they must be ready for me to yell, “STAND UP STRAIGHT” from my hiding spot within the car parking zone and that most definitely I would not be the one mother hiding in a car park and the opposite mothers hiding of their automobiles or perched in tree branches could be like, “Fucking THANK YOU, why do they never stand up straight?” after which unexpectedly the entire flock of faculty rookies would scatter like spooked deer however that I was hoping they would glance again and smile for a second so I may get a just right shot in sooner than the police got rid of me.

Anyway, that is how it is going over right here. How are you?
