There's nothing really that special about the photo. They didn't even really pay attention to me at the time. But I looked at it after and thought about just how many pictures I've snapped of them together over the years. It's a LOT. I don't always notice all the little changes that take place day to day with them but holy moly all those changes really stack up over the years. I stared at this photo with Juliana in her They Might Be Giants concert tee and Ava looking like an actual "big kid" and it kind of took my breath away. I tend to have moments like these when I least expect it and it really sends me into a tailspin. I started looking at old photos on Flickr of them growing together as sisters and REALLY. I don't think I need to say anything else:
I mean, COME ON.
Seriously?
It's too much.
And this was taken just a couple of months ago:
I hope you enjoyed these because I'm dead. Rolling in my grave. I can't take it anymore.
I did not enjoy these either, well I did, but it was all I could do to not cry! Where did my baby nieces go? I was just talking to Erin today about how I can not believe that Ava will be 8 next month, I kept thinking she was turning 7, even though I knew that wasn't right.
