Glimpse of the Future

Until this morning I have never been able to even picture what Cecilia will look like when she is a grown woman. I had just put her hair in a ponytail, and turned her around to see what it looked like from the front, and noticed this one long strand that was not tied back. It was a small thing, but it struck a chord with me in how her mom’s hair so often does something similar, and it made me look at her in a new way.

I realized that I could imagine what she will look like when she is a grown woman, and took this picture when we went downstairs to remember the moment.
