[QUOTE=Terri Ficenec]Ngaire,
Thanks Carol!
My kids laugh at me because I tear up at the drop of a hat... movies... even commercials that strike a chord (these days, anything about kids growing up). You're reaction makes me feel like this communicates what I was wanting to convey. Thanks!
Terrri, my kids laugh at me too, still. Mine are now 36 and 34. There once was a Kodak commercial that played a song about how we "turn around and they are small, turn around and they are ...gone." It showed kids through each stage...oh, boy. When that commercial came on, our kids didn't even watch it, they just turned around and looked at "Mom", saying, "There she goes again."
The emotional content that you got in your picture captures just what I strive for. The figurative that I just posted in the figurative critique section (Almost Ready) is a picture of my, now grown-up daughter, looking beautiful, with HER daughter on the bed next to her. It must not have had the emotional message yours did, or I would have gotten more responses. I took the photo while I staying with them on a business trip in Calgary. Oh, boy, better stop here.
You did an awesome job. Your message comes through loud and clear.
