Never Looked Back.....

There's something about this picture that makes my heart both happy and sad. Just look at her riding that bike like a big girl. Such confidence. So sure of herself and her ability. That makes my heart absolutely sing with happiness. How proud I am of her finding her way, finding herself. But not so much as even a look back to see if I was still there. I have to admit, watching her grow older is bitter sweet. I love her strong will. I love that she can do things on her own.... but... I guess I hope that she will always look back because she needs/wants me to be there.

Thanks Michelle! It's actually a free texture I found. If you can, email me and I will see if I can send it to you. It's a fun texture!

Happy New Year!
