Who are the women that made you?
Someday your children will look for photos of you and what will they find?
As we celebrate Mother's Day, take a moment to reflect on the women you are a product of.
Take out those photos of them, those heirlooms, the tangible legacy they left you. These photos were an investment in the future – their future - you, your children, and your children’s children.
Photos are a way to see the family resemblance.
Photos are a way to share the beautiful stories, respecting and honoring who you are through who they were, documenting moments in time. I’m not sure that at the moment they were having these photographs made they were thinking investment, but in hindsight you know how valuable these images are to you.
So I challenge you…get out your camera, cell phone, whatever. Take those photos, with your kids. And not just on special occasions. Document not just their childhood, but you as parents along with them. And PRINT them.
When your children are adults do you think they will notice your double chin? Doubtful. Looking back they will see photos of the parents and grandparents that they loved. So don’t avoid a photo because you don’t like how you looked that day, or you think you are too overweight or your hair is a mess.
Someday, these photos will be the only thing your family has of you and they will be happy to know that you existed – in photos- for them to enjoy and share the memories.
Photos of you are your legacy. To your kids – they are priceless.
It's about shining from the inside...
