one year through the eyes of a camera...

My worst year ever, but it was also filled with a lot of celebrations, vacations, a miracle and smiles. All while carrying on with a broken heart. 

It all started with two tragic deaths and really, losing my brother too. Then making it through Mom and Dad's birthdays-celebrating their wonderful lives-they were so young. Then life took us to St. John to truly one of the most beautiful resorts in the World, Caneel Bay. I then got pregnant. Had the most magnificent baby shower imaginable-people are still talking about it today-it was the most girly, feminine, pink celebration ever. We wine tasted in Pebble beach, CA (or should I say Ted wine tasted), made it through Holidays and then the birth of Elle. And now, one year later, we continue to grieve the loss of two of the most amazing people, the most important people in my life, my parents. Here, people toast to them on the day they left the world a year ago.  

Thank you to Boomers in Allen Park  for putting "friends are missed" on their billboard for the day and for all of the love and support my family received yesterday, this week and always.......I am determined to keep their spirit alive and I thank all of you for your help with this....

My Mother, Sister and I love pictures. We've taken thousands and I've documented every memory shared..........I will do the same for and with, little miss Elle. Pictures, in my mind, are worth more than anything in the World. They show you, that while broken-hearted, you can still smile and continue making memories on this journey of life.....that's my year......through the eyes of a camera.
