We took these Polaroids this morning as I was packing and getting ready to leave for Europe.
I wept in the parking lot at the airport when I kissed them goodbye and when the TSA agent asked me if she could go to Venice in my place, I couldn’t hold back the tears.
Everyone says that you can’t know what it’s like to be a parent until you become one and that it changes your life in ways you simply can’t imagine…
No one ever told me about the heartbreak… I just can’t smile without them…

You know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you’re sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would of believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can’t smile without you
I can’t smile without you
I can’t laugh and I can’t sing
I’m finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I’m finding it hard leaving your love behind me
