So This is What Goal Feels Like...

Mar 23, 2011

Okay, not the end goal, but it was one I promised my grandmother (who is alive and well, travelling with mom in her motor home at present at the age of 81 btw). When her mom died I inherited 2 of her dance costumes, she was a ball room dancer. One will never fit, my rib cage is too wide, but tinkerbell... i haven't been able to fit in this dress since I was 12 years old. I promised Grandma I would, that it was my goal to wear her mother's dress again. Today it zipped, and I can't stop crying these happy tears. I loved my Great-Grandmother more than I can possibly explain, and when I was younger, she always let me dress up in her clothes and scarves when i came to visit. She'd let me put on fashion shows and she adored me. Wearing this dress has made me feel that joy and closeness that I haven't felt since I was a teenager when we lost her.
So here are the pictures, I can't wait to be Tinkerbell for Halloween this year!


Now, if only I could dance...
