Newborn, Baby and Wedding Photography in Melbourne :: Kristen Cook {The Blog}

The warm Spring breeze is calling, my friend.
Go to that place that you go to dream.

“We never dreamed you’d be so beautiful…
In all of the times we tried to imagine
every last detail of who you would be,
through all of the nights we spent quietly thinking
of how we would feel
when we first looked at you,
we patiently waited
and silently wondered.
We hoped and we prayed
and we tried to imagine…
but we never dreamed you’d be so beautiful.”

As a mother, how do you know when it’s time to stop that moment when you press them tightly to you?
When is the right moment to start releasing?
At what point do your fingertips slowly start to lift?
You breathe deeply, knowing that no matter how tight you enfold them, there is always part that never seems close enough.
Do you ever feel ready?
Then you let go, but their scent still lingers.
Close to your lips, your heart.
A reminder of that beautiful embrace.

Sleep sweetly.
The Universe made you the fourth child for a reason.
Three lovely siblings to guide you on your journey.
How lucky you are, my friend.
