So many hands,
Here,
Reaching,
Lifting,
Praying,
Working,
Helping,
Comforting,
Caressing,
Strengthening.
So many hands,
There,
Welcoming,
Playing,
Loving,
Holding,
Teaching,
Working,
Helping,
Comforting,
Strengthening.
Hands crossing the generations,
Interwoven between Heaven and Earth,
Knit into a circle of strength,
Forming a circle of prayer and love.
While Camille was in the hospital I had my sister in law Elizabeth (who is an awesome photographer) come from California and take detail pictures of every possible part of my little baby girl. I don't want to forget any part of her tiny body. The picture is the first she has shared with me. It is when I was lying in the bed next to Camille with my arm around her and my mother is on the other side of the bed holding Cami's little hand in both of hers. Thanks Elizabeth. Priceless seems an inadequate expression at the moment. Thanks also to Heather Gibb who took our family photos last week and has generously shared her work with us so quickly. My heart is so grateful.
