Wistfully, I see that it’s very different for mothers of daughters. Wishing all the best of life to the bride and groom.

I love seeing her grow up, right before my eyes. And Kahlil Gibran’s words are the perfect touch. What memories this brings to me, for my mother had these words memorized, and at any given moment she would softly recite them to us. That first photo with Jeanette’s little hand in the air, giving benediction to the world, is precious. And I adore the picture of her with the braids ~ too sweet for words! Bless you and your daughter as you both travel into these new journeys. xo Kari

I love the way these treasured photos of her show so many sides to her character as she has grown & blossomed over time.
The poem is a real inspiration, a reminder that our children are not our ‘property’, but belong to themselves and the universe, with infinite positive possibilities and potential within them.

As we bend in the wind, so we use our calm stength derived from strong roots, so as you bend gladly, I will bend with you! Happy New Year, and Happy New Stage for your daughter and you. Lois xxx
