We have all been at weddings and the like, where someone who should stop dancing just insists on dancing and dancing some more! Damn those who don't know when enough dancing is enough! :) But seriously, I still treasure every single second of innocence that my girls maintain. I know I will shed a tear or two when Santa ceases to be magical and the like. You captured that moment perfectly......unfortunately, if you know what I mean.Thomas Charles MacInneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11331362298948608531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-55564914610031052532013-10-17T19:26:49.740-05:002013-10-17T19:26:49.740-05:00Loved it.Loved it.Agincourtdbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727155620856112847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-28399334870580845422013-10-17T17:45:40.407-05:002013-10-17T17:45:40.407-05:00I see this moment with mine, now that they're ...I see this moment with mine, now that they're older and I make sure I document it<br /><br />I loved the imagery, hereLancehttp://lancemyblogcanbeatupyourblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-79334098315496817302013-10-17T16:22:26.115-05:002013-10-17T16:22:26.115-05:00How beautifully you described this Gina-so true,th...How beautifully you described this Gina-so true,the moment which can never be returned to-and a good question-why do we become so conscious and start caring about what others may think or say-damn it!!Atreyeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400190416839538182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-88056906510223375892013-10-17T00:31:00.663-05:002013-10-17T00:31:00.663-05:00Fantastic piece!
