My first daughter, Charlotte Amelia, was born silently into the world on May 13, 2003. Since her birth and death our family has welcomed four living children. Joy and gratitude prevail in our life together, yet my sadness is always with me, tucked alongside the beauty of every day.

capturing life
And all of it, because you never know.
I look at Fiona's face, and I think, this is how I cried. This is how it was, every day, for I don't know how long.
What a great comparison. My face looks like that a lot these days. And unfortunately, when I cry, my face totally scrunches up. I couldn't hide it if I tried. You could see it from a mile away.

Never thought of it like that. Angus is really starting to cry like that. Those real, toddler tears. And yep, that's how it was for me as well.

I've done my fair share of crying like Fiona. I didn't think that grown-up could cry that way still, before I lost my girl.
Beautiful photographs.
