lime green

I don't know if it's her favorite.

I don't know if she knows it's my favorite on her.

I love how it feels against my neck when she hugs me.

I love how the neck of it crinkles when she reaches up to her face to hold her cheek when she laughs out loud.

I love how it wraps her upper arm when she reaches to hold his hand.

I love how it looks against the pink blanket we lay on when we go on family picnics.

I love how when she comes to help me cook, she wears it and doesn't cover it up with an apron.

I love how it covers her soft belly when she puts her feet up on the arm of the couch to cheer for the Lakers.

I love how it welcomes me as I lay my head on her shoulder when my heart is heavy.

I love how it holds my tears as I lean into her for comfort.

I love her, my mother-in-love and her lime green polo.

Love this post and one of my favorite colors is lime green and since my hair grew back in dark it looks good on me. I love to wear my lime green sweater and happen to have it one when my friend Mary photographed me on a visit home in Feb this year.
