Miss is such a perfect word for how I’m feeling. I kinda go along my way and try to forget about it all, get over it. Then something wacks me on the head and it all comes back. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll take all the wacks, my heart treasures them.
I miss what Maytag was to Newton. I miss all of our friends who needed to move to find comparable work. I miss the kids in my boys’ classes. I miss the impact it had on every single thing - work, friends, church, camping - every thing. (But, I don’t miss the stress and worry about when it was going to leave.) Things are so very much looking up but my heart still hurts and got a big wack on the head last week.
Lydia came from Michigan to have me photograph her senior portraits. I am so touched that they still wanted me! I enjoyed every single minute reconnecting with Lydia and her parents, friends from both work and church! I’ve watched Lydia since she was a baby and to get to see her turn into this beautiful young woman was such a joy.
Lydia, thanks for picking me. You are beautiful on the inside and out!
(I’ll post more of her session when I start posting senior sessions!)
