Lance is Coming HOME

I've missed a lot of fabulous shots in my life while my camera was not

glued to my side...........

But one that I am so thankful that I DID NOT miss was with these boys.

I had to make them let me do the first shoot the day before they started Jr. High.

Then we took the exact same shots the day before they started their Senior year.

This time they wanted to do it.

All four of them remembered right where they were standing and whose arms

were where. Our only problem was that they had grown so much

they hung over the tracks on both sides.

God (& time) had added a little meat to the size of their shoulders.

Of all the hundreds of shots I've taken over the years this is still

one of the most priceless. I have a 24x24 hanging in my house.

I look at it everyday and remember how thankful I am that

God picked me to be Brent's mom. How wonderful it was to

be a part of those boys lives while they grew up.

And how amazingly thankful we all are that they will be

there to see a member of their pack come home today.

There are just some things that time can not alter,

and the friendship between those 4 is one of them.

How lucky I feel to have been a part of their lives....

To watch them play football, to see them ride off all dressed up in a limo

for prom, the many "spend the nights" that lasted all weekend,

the countless amounts of food they ate, and the State Championship

they all won together their Senior Year.

May time never erase the joy, the friendship or they moments they

have shared together.
