A moment in time.  That is what a photograph captures.  In most cases, your portraits capture smiling faces.  Happy moments.  Treasured memories are what these become, most especially when the one in the photos no longer walks the earth in physical form. It stirs the heart to look at photos.  The action can bring you great joy or sadness depending on the present moment and your thoughts about it.  Do you see?  This moment now is what you make of it.  Be grateful for that moment in time and carry that gratitude to this moment.  Now make another memory, for that is what time allows:  change … experience … growth … opportunities all around in which to love.  And why not?  For you are so very loved.
