My niece, Nita, was nine-years-old when this picture was made. The baby she's holding is Tony. When the camera captured this moment in 1955, it showed two children I loved totally and unconditionally. I longed to protect them both from all harm. Forever and ever.
Nita came yesterday ... I hadn't seen her in many years. When I put my arms around her, time melted away. and for one brief moment she was again the small girl who gave me great joy.
I will always love Nita.
