When People Fit

In April, as many of you know, I spent several days and nights with Jen and Odette and her girls from Rwanda to document their reunion after four years of seperation. I cherished this experience so much. What strikes me about my collection of images from this period of time is the instant and vivid, very visible connection between Odette and her daughters. It was as if there had been no space between them. After four years of being apart, I expected some distance. Hesitation. Barriers. Yet none were visible. They just seemed to fit.

Let's see some connections today. Share an image of two people who just seem to fit.

I understand this idea of fit so well now. On the post below, at the bottom of the page, in the last image, you'll see two people who fit so well they knew it within the first six weeks of meeting and never looked back.

No hard times, no working at it, just love sweet love. We fit.

My father and I had this amazing relationship. I moved from New Jersey to California about 14 years ago, but we stayed close, in fact perhaps got closer to each other than ever before. When my daughter was born, there was an instant connection with them. Although she only saw him about 2 times a year, they really seemed to fit together. He passed away last year, exactly one month before my son was born. I feel like he is in our lives every day, watching over us.
Anyway, here is my favorite photo of my father and my daughter, taken on the first and last Christmas they got to spend together.

I suppose the accompanying photo doesn't illustrate connection as much as the text does in this blog post. But I immediately thought of this moment and the close-up photo makes my son feel vivid and corporeal, if that makes any sense.

These two people seem to 'fit' accidentally, but still perfectly.

First kiss as a married couple. Close together and never going to be apart now!

I love their story and they absolutely fit...so moving!

I keep coming back to this photo of my brother and my son. Not only do they look like carbon copies of each other, but they just get each other. Their time together is amazing to watch!

Last summer, I went on a church mission trip to help out miners in West Virginia. My group of teens worked on a house for this couple, Sue and Jimmy, who have been married for over thirty years. Although they hardly have a roof over their heads, they're still madly in love, and it inspired the teens.

Twins. It doesn't get better than twins. They just seem to know one another so deep to the core that there is just no separating them. I am truly blessed to be a Mama of these two.

I hope I'm doing this right. My daughter and her cousin who lives across the country got to share a week in Hawaii this summer. They got along famously.

These jerseys which are interestingly termed retro basketball jerseys are old school. Here is an example, men football jerseys, Kobe’s jersey at the present time, but the Lakers look 20 years ago. That would be an example of the throwback kind. Sports stars put them on now and again during games also.site:http://www.nfljerseyonline.com

Most of these jerseys state they’re replicas,sports jerseys store, yet in fact aren’t. They are the cheapest ones out there. They’ve screen imprinted lettering, additionally are made of the least expensive fabrics availableNike.
