I'd never thought to photograph someone's feet for posterity.Yet for this photograph of Mitch's feet, I am eternally grateful ♥
It wasn't until the end of his life that we actually got to see his feet often. He was definitely a city kid, used to full-time shoes and socks. His summer as "Enrique the pool boy" (2000) was the first time I'd ever seen his feet sans sock tan line ♥
Those are pretty white feet there, so this is just after Hayden's birth-ish, 1998. Post diagnosis, surgery and radiation, pre-chemo, in the throes of a much-appreciated calm in the Storm our life could seem at times.
Hannah's smile could bring those moments, those "ah, this is why I woke up today" feelings, with a mere expression of joy-in-the-moment. I'm glad to have captured so many of those moments on her face, to pull out and remember...
The top of Mitch (and the baby Hayden) looked like this sometime around the same day...
I am so blessed! ♥
