There Was This One Time...


...when i had the {not so} brilliant idea to take madison with me to the cemetery and talk to her about 'things'. it kind of backfired. as in, i had to use bribery with a sucker to even get her out of the car. and she wanted to run around everyone's headstones to play tag. i don't know what i had in mind or what i thought i'd say. i don't know what i expected her to do or why i even thought she was ready for something like that in the first place.  it just didn't go as planned.

so i let my expectations go.

what we did end up doing was laugh, smile, and be happy. plus take pictures. 
i told madison it was a special place.  that was simple and enough. i could tell she felt it.




then i let her run {around all the headstones}, because i was IT, back to the car as she finished her sucker.
