When my daughter Valentine was a newborn, I sang "My Valentine" a lot to her, but another song off her lullaby CD ended up becoming her favorite instead. "True Colors". She seems to like the Phil Collins version over Cyndi Lauper's, but ah well :)
It's been awhile since I've had the chance to do a personal piece from the heart like this. Already in the span of five months, Val has grown an incredible amount and is learning new stuff every day. It goes by so quickly! As much as I treasure these baby days, it's not going to last forever. She'll stop nursing, stop wanting me to hold her, her loveys and rattles will get packed away.. and eventually she'll be embarrassed by me ;) And I'm pretty ok with that, coz' one of my big jobs is to gradually let go, no matter how bittersweet. That's what this picture's about, and I tried to get that across in the way Vinci starts out carrying Greer, then walking beside her before letting her run off ahead.

Well... trust me when I say, parents NEVER stop being parents.
Heck my Mom still tries to be the over protective Mom (Okay.. sometimes I thank GOD, because she can still be spot-on right) but even when Valentine's fully grown and out of the house, you're still going to be Mom! Even when you're 75... you'll still want to parent her.

This is absolutely adorable.
My little brother was born not six days ago, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about what it's going to be like helping my parents raise him (they're both really old folks, and the little squirt was a surprise until he was born. So I'm helping them out a lot.) Mom keeps telling me to "think about this week" rather than skip ahead years at a time like I seem to be doing. X3 My mind likes to day dream.
I always said I hated children, and now for some reason I seem to be the one going through all the pictures. D:
Aww, I don't think Phil Collins is all that bad...

The thing about them running off ahead is that they eventually come back. As much as I wanted to flee and tear off on my own, a little over a decade of being away always makes going to see my folks a joy.
Not a fan of Cyndi though? Should have tried 'Time After Time' :) True Colors is a very beautiful song though.
The picture is beautiful though. My little sister is 2 months along now and nervous as can be as she starts off at the very beginning.

Beautiful and meaningfull piece. I been a single father for the last 9 years.. just got married this year. To this day I stil can't listen to the song "Butterfly Kisses' without getting moody and teary eyed. My daughter turns 12 this October.
And yes I like the Cindy Lauper version better..... it feels like it has more emotion to it.

Oh now it's a little early to be feeling bittersweet about your young'un growing up... *smiles* but, kinda reasurring that even this early you recognise it's gonna happen :)
I kinda think you're gonna be the sort of Mum that, sure, might be a bit of an embarrassing pain once in a while... But yeah, you're the Mum the other kids are gonna say "I wish my Mum was like yours" ;)
But yeah :) Sentimental, well wishing fan waffle aside, I like this picture.

This is so poignant. I'm sure there are people who are going through all sorts of 'letting go' even at this very moment, and such a warm story helps the sentimental among us revisit these warm, and yes, bittersweet emotions that are a part of our natural lives. God, how we wish they would last forever, but I do not believe we would cherish them as much as we do if we did not know that change will eventually find us.
Thank you for helping at least this one person with this emotional place.
It means the world.
