The Essence of Childhood

A random candid moment about a week ago. I keep finding myself going back to it- that photo on my phone. It captures the essence of the sweet and hysterical comedian she was from just a couple of years old. The essence of the sweet playful little girl who only ever wanted to make everyone laugh, make everyone smile.

As I look at this silly expression I feel my heart light up. I know that the girl of just 2 or 3 years old, whose mom and dad adored more than anything, carries on. She may be wrapped in the looks of a beautiful athletic yet elegant young lady, but early childhood Johnna, “The Baby,” lives on. This photo is proof.

And, yes, she is still the apple of their eyes.
