“There is not enough darkness in all the world to put out the light of even one small candle” ~ Robert Alden

It’s Spring here

and the freesias are out in force,

their perfume permeating every part of us as we drive the long road home.

The weather has been so beautiful,

almost in celebration of the small girl’s home coming

and the light, which I have watched change over the last little while,

is warm and golden.

I took her out into it yesterday (how could I not)

and she and Lily spent the afternoon languishing in the sunshine.

So very good for the soul.

The hardest part of all was trying to choose a photo for I Heart Faces this week – the theme is ‘a touch of sun’

but I settled on this one.

I love that the haze of the afternoon makes the bruising on her arms almost invisible

as if it is washing away the pain of the last week

and she is my little sunshine,

my light

and she burns brightly every day,

finds happiness,

just when I think there is no more to be had.
