Portrait of a Young Family

05.24.11

This was us on Mother’s Day, picnicing with my mom and sister. Oh hi, there!

A pregnancy that started as stress, worry, doubt, turned into this.

A little boy who brings his mom flowers.

“Pretty like you,” he says.

Turned into companionship.

Discovery.

Self-discovery.

Hope.

Laughter.

This.

This.

I’m unexpectedly pregnant, stressed and lonely.
This made me cry.
It gave me some hope.
Thank you.
