This photo, taken just over a year ago, makes me smile. It also makes my heart ache.
We had gone for a day out with my family: grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins. We found this fallen tree log and my mother suggested that the kids sit on it for a photograph. They duly hopped up.
At the time, I just thought it was lovely to capture a shot of the three of them together. It wasn't until later that I noticed the gap between my daughter and her eldest cousin. The space where my 18-month old son *should* be sitting.
To others, this photo is simply a memento of a happy day out.
To me, it is a reminder that there is always someone missing.
