My little brother had a smile that could light up the room.
His time with us was so very short and when he was no longer here –
An unspeakable void appeared in our lives.
There was a small spark though, that flickered in the darkness; (just 5 months old at the time).
That precious spark was surrounded by love and it sparkled and shone.
It grew and grew and grew.
That spark now burns ever so brightly and while the void is still real and will always be with us;
The beautiful young woman it has become fills our hearts with such light that all but the darkest shadows have been erased.

Thank-you Shasta. She does look very much like him.
And we did have lots of fun didn’t we?!.. (and it seems like such a short time ago…!)

Wendy you are amazing! Not only are your pictures amazing, but you are able to create such wonderful stories that can stir up such a range of emotions. Thanks for sharing with us. xoxo
Wow, this blog and these pictures are beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes!
Shauna is very beautiful, and very much like her father.
It’s funny that when I opened my facebook page tonight that her picture was right at the top, because I was thinking of your family this evening, and how so many of my childhood memories are times spent with your family. You take such beautiful photos and I am so happy that you share them.
I feel as though I can still “know” your families even though time and distance separate us.
