A Painting & A Poem: Kate At The Beach

A Poem & A Painting: The Dress
May 04 2015 ·0The final countdown is here! In 6 days until my little girl Emily and her fiancé Nick say I Do!
I knew this day would come, was coming, but I am still feeling very sentimental about this giant step. Emily will become a wife and and at some point, a mother. She will have other people relying on her and there will be a new dynamic in our family…and yet will there be? After all, she’ll always be my little girl and I’ll always be her Mom. I am so excited to welcome Nick and his family into ours. He makes my sweet girl so happy and brings so much joy to her life. He is a great friend to my son Freddy and to me.
