finally home.

magic.
is having a mother to hold you.
to kiss you on your sweet lips.

to gently clean your sweet cheeks.
to hand you your raisins.
clean your nose.
kiss your boo-boo.
to show you
your own beauty.
a mother who lights up when you walk in the room.
who will give you the minutes of her day.
her love.
her very life.
you are her little doll.
her sister.
her friend.
her always little girl.
Mei is home.

Liz is a beautiful mother, with a wonderful loving husband and two full of life boys,
but little Mei, you have changed her forever by coming into her life.


(Thank you for letting me "see" you two through my lens!!)

Your best yet! Okay, your subject helps. I am crying like I did when I was reading their blog while they were in China. These are just spectacular...

Thank you sweet friend. I can hardly believe she is mine. I could have never have made something as beautiful as Mei. I am simply falling in love.
