Photo Art Friday - "Embrace"

Time for another Photo Art Friday.  This month's theme is "Embrace". 
But first, a little vocabulary lesson.

embrace:
/im'breis, em/
verb
       1. hold (someone) closely in one's arms, especially as a sign of affection
           synonyms: hug, hold, cuddle, squeeze, clasp

       2. accept (a belief, theory or change) willingly and enthusiastically
           synonyms: welcome, accept, take to one's heart

My mother embracing my first born son and her new role as grandmother.
Oh how she delighted in her grandchildren.

Cuddling with her 4 year old granddaughter just 2 months before she passed away.

I am so thankful that I have photos that capture the love and affection she had for her grandchildren. This month marked 29 years without her dear presence and influence in our lives and family get-togethers.
(Some things are more difficult to embrace than others.)
Miss you, Mama. 
 See you later.

  2. puts a twist on 'our lives' and whether these same emotions will well up in our kids hearts one day...

    no matter how old I get, I still miss my moms and dad~
    It helps to 'embrace' these wonderful memories. Heaven will be filled with many more!

  3. How touching/meaningful/precious, Andrea! There are several ways to find examples of the word 'embrace' in your beautiful photo art. Some things are hard to embrace as you say - but such a treasure when we find our way to do so. Such a lovely tribute to your mother and her love for her grandchildren.

  8. I knew your mother just briefly but remember her as a lovely, gracious woman. These are precious photos. The love comes through the poses and expressions, but also through your sensitive editing.
