A picture is worth a thousand words.

I love the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words". Above you will see two of my favorite pictures of all times.  Thanks to Amazon Prime Photos these memories un-expectantly dropped in my lap over the last couple of days.  

My dad was about 11 months into his treatment plan here. That exact moment wasn't capturing a picture of a man with cancer, it was encapsulating the pure joy of a grandpa holding his grand baby. He didn't even know I took the photo...but my daughter obviously did. 😉

My mom's picture shows the crazy close bond that she had with my daughter. They were two peas in a pod and were always caught giving each other a tight squeeze. Just a few days ago, my son (who was 2 when mom passed away) told me that he had a happy dream about Grammy in her yellow rain coat. I thought to myself this morning when I looked at this picture, "Huh, there's that bright and sunny rain coat". 

I do believe that life gives you what you need when you need it. This world isn't perfect, but it does have perfect moments. I am so thankful that I was able to capture a few of them in these pictures. No one knows when the clock is going to stop in their life. It is so important to squeeze every moment of joy you can out of the life you are living.
