The Crazy 9
I feel, simultaneously, awe and pity (for you, that is). What an incredible beauty.
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous! Can you make me look that good in a photo please?
ReplyDeleteShe is stunning and photographer did an awesome job =)
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteShe is stunning.... but at the same time I am SO glad I am NOT 16 again. Tough years...: )
ReplyDeleteI looked at this picture again, and it reminded me of the first time I saw her. She looks EXACTLY the same as she did at 5 (only bigger), I know that sounds corny, but something brought me back in this picture to seeing her as a little girl. Time goes too fast!
ReplyDeleteI think pity may be the best word. Really, 16 has hit like a brick wall at 65 mph. I wouldn't want to be 16 again for any thing, except that is how old I was when Papa and I met.
ReplyDeleteYa, Auntie Sherri, she still looks like a little girl to me too, a little girl dressing up and playing big girl games. Expect now the games can be scary.
