Two weeks ago, I left the house and told my girls I would be back in two hours. I was just taking Jack to Columbia, he had a fever and we needed to culture his line. The girls did not see me for four days, when I stopped in for a change of clothes. Note to self, parenting is not that hard, just show up. I chose Jack. I know most would say I had no choice. But I did. I chose Jack. Others will say I made the right choice. Did I? Only time will tell.
Sam, my first, and I have been together for fifteen years. From the start she let me know who was in charge. I purchased this gorgeous stroller and waited for her arrival. She came alright, all 8 lbs and 22 inches, but when I put her in the stroller she screamed. She was in the baby bjorn from that day on. She started swimming at six. Seven years later, I have bags of ribbons, many miles on my car and she has trophies, articles and a thirty year old record that she broke. Recently Sam has been rethinking swimming. This last month, the month when I chose Jack, Sam needed me. She acted out the Saturday night I was gone and her father said she was taking advantage of Jack being sick. I knew better. She needed me, I was not there, I let her down.
Today Sam embarked on her latest thing.... I found this wonderful talented photographer, Catherine White. She agreed to shoot Sam. The pictures she took brought me to tears. Here are just a couple
