Of death and photo shoots

Well, I'm getting what I want! We have a photo shoot with Laura Domela tomorrow. I followed up with her after my post where I complained that it wasn't coming together. She responded that things were just too busy for her but to hang tight. Then, I got an email a couple days ago that she had time this week. I'm really looking forward it. Riley is so very beautiful and I can wait to see how she captures his beauty.

And, we really need beauty right now. Neil, and my mom, think that he is suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome from the drowning. He says he just can't get the image of the boy going under the water out his head. I'm haunted by it too. Not to the degree that Neil is, of course, but I can see it, even though I wasn't there. It's heartbreaking. Being a mother now makes me understand the true love for a child.

Everything happens for a reason. This child dying. And, our delayed scheduling of the photo shoot. We just have to be patient and the reasons are revealed.

Love,
Aislinn
