Meeting the baby.

Lets be honest, babies are funny looking when they are born! That is at least my opinion, however, you cant help falling in love with them anyways. There is something about newborns. People, especially women, seem to melt around a newborn. It was simple magic to me to watch friends and family meet Apollo for the first time and look at him with so much affection and admiration.
This is one of my all time favorite photos of Apollo with family. Aunt Emily was meeting him for the first time and Grandpa Joe was there to share the moment. This is how I will always remember grandpa. He absolutely loved his family. I was fortunate enough to see this side of him often. We are so lucky that we live in a time where we can take photos and videos to capture the moments with the one we love. As time goes on, and we grow older our memories begin to fade. There is nothing better then finding an old photo, and reliving that moment. The memories can come rushing back, bringing up emotions and feelings that you experienced at that very moment, even smells or sounds can be experienced as well...at least for me.
Nothing can replace the conversations or physical contact though. There is always so much more that we wish we would have said or questions we wish we would have asked or conversations we wish we would have had. A new void opens up in your heart and you fill it with all the memories of the ones we have lost. Cherish every moment with the ones that you love. you never know when they will be gone....
