My heart stops and my knees weaken each time I witness a father spin his daughter.

This is exactly what I witnessed through the camera ( and my watery eyes ) while I slowly, and deliberately pushed my index finger down on the button of the shutter. 

This is the moment that I know I will live out with my own daughter.

This moment marks the chapter that my daughter becomes a wife. A wife that becomes a mother. A mother that becomes a grandmother that has the quiet privilege of celebrating the same moment that I enthusiastically await.

My Moscow Mule brings all the boyz to the yard.

When there is time to travel; then it's time to travel.

Today will be the day we forge a new way.

Among the noise, I am here next to you. 

When it stops; be still.

Our hearts are playing our song.
