Beautiful shots, Lotus. I’m glad to see that you’re taking pictures and posting weekly winners — a ray of sunshine & pure fun for lots of people – when you’re feeling so badly. You’re awesome. Thinking of you.

1st: I hope you’re doing ok; have been concerned about you. I wasn’t sure if you’d post this week or not & would’ve completely understood if you didn’t. Keeping you & your family in thought & prayer.
2cd: ♥ what you’ve done w/your pics this week~you’re putting my pics to shame
3rd: ♥ the Braden ones; he is a precious one & there’s just something about a sleeping child
And, you hold on tightly to your reason to smile~that’s what’s going to get you thru!
4th: ♥ the colors in they shine on! And, I just ♥ the “artsy-ness” in the beauty in detail.
5th: Take care of yourself Lotus! And hold on tight to John & Braden!

Thanks for hosting this week’s edition, despite the pain and the sorrow you’re going through. You’re in my heart and my prayers as well Lotus!
You made some very nice work this week, that last one of Braden is absolutely adorable, but beauty in detail is one of my other favourites!

I’m so happy you are here again! It’s great you have Braden because with him you can overcome everything. I had very hard week. But the one thing that made me to fight was my Sofia. How could I spoil her happiness with my tears?

So sorry for your sad news, Lotus.
I absolutely wish you the best and am thankful that you have such wonderfully supportive friends to help you through this incredibly hard time.
Braden is getting to be such a big boy–having him there with you must be such a comfort.
