Colorado Springs Downtown Couples Photo Session
Downtown Couples Session in Colorado Springs
My daughter Emma is the best thing since sliced bread. I had her when I was 18 and she changed my life. It is so weird to see her growing up. Having a boyfriend. Like a real-life, treats her good, there for her, normal relationship boyfriend. In March, she will be 16 and my heart is breaking.
I remember driving to the hospital on the night before she was born. I was so sick. It was a whirlwind of ambulance rides to towns far away and doctors coming into and out of the room and ended with my sleepy sedation as I went into the OR for our emergency C-Section. Emmas birth was followed by several weeks of commuting back and forth to the hospital 2 hours away to see my sweet girl in the NICU. Worth it. Look how amazing she is now.
As her 16th birthday approaches, I know concretely that the days she will remain by my side are getting shorter than they were before so I must tell myself to slow down. Slow down and take her in. This sweet Pisces girl had ringlets of golden hair and a smile that never faded. She found someone who is kind and generous to her and it just makes me happy that maybe one day she will get to start her own adventure with someone who will care for her as I do.
I am so happy and proud of her. That tiny little four-pound baby who gave us all the scare of our lives when she entered this world. She is finding her authentic way through life and I feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t get a chance to meet her. My shining star. My sun, and my moon. My little girl.
