Snow

Theme Thursday posted "Snow" as the topic this week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Snow may bring to mind the onset of winter,

Tiring hours of scraping and shoveling.

Or a Christmas wonderland of white,

Exciting days spent sledding and skiing.

To me, snow recalls a late December afternoon,

Magical moments with my baby girl, snowflakes swirling.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My daughter was born four days before Christmas.

That night, as I held her in my arms, I looked out the window and saw snow falling.

My nickname for her was born in that moment.

She is so much older now, a young woman I am constantly amazed by and proud of.

But she will always be my little Snowflake.



Love you!

And Happy Birthday, Ravyn!

    Uh oh... does she get screwed over like I do and receive "Christmas/Birthday" presents, rather than a present for each?

    Nice to see a post, by the way.

    Great post!!! It remind me of my younger brother's birth, because he was born on a day of record-breaking cold in Washington state. Since then, my mom has called him her Alaska baby because he never gets cold.
