Throwback Thursday: Little Messer

8 January 2015

This week's throwback is brought to you by some serious high-waisted jeans!! Here is the five year old me with my dad, nonna and two older brothers back when we lived in Florence, Italy. I look at this picture & my heart hurts from how much I miss my dad. This is exactly how I remember him. I feel sad but then I remember the beautiful gift I've been given of his little namesake, currently fast asleep upstairs...and I am so thankful. <3 

I look like a messer here, kind of reminds me of another little girl I know...*cough* Emilia *cough*! Have a lovely Thursday guys...I hope you're all well. I am really excited to be spending this weekend with the other members of my family that aren't in this picture! My mum and two little sisters :)

      Oh My, you took the words right out of my mouth. This post stirred emotions in myself. Anna and her family are what the world needs more of. They are doing a lovely job at leaving a wonderful footprint in this world. Nice day! - Love and regards - Darlene

    I see Emilia's spunk in you! Or should I say Emilia has your spunk! You were a cutie and I am sure the apple of your Daddy's eye. I enjoy your TBT's. Thanks for sharing.

    How tall is your brother (the one stood behind)? He looks like a giant! Or it could just be that you are bsolutely tiny. x

    that line about how your hear hurts is so touching, I lost my nana who was like my second mom in 2006, I still think of her every single day but it never gets easier, I always just find comfort in knowing she's looking down on me x

    I lost my dad to cancer too when I was about 12, it hurts incredible when I see his face pictured but when looking at my four kids I kind of constantly see similarities that make me happy as it means he lives on somehow..I love the way you raise your children,Anna, so patient and kind

    I see so much of your dad in you. It's such a blessing that Eduardo can grow up and learn where his name came from and how much it means to you. Have a wonderful weekend with your family Anna! (:

    My Dad wanted to have a son (and had three daughters), later he dreamt about a grandson (and had two granddaughters). Last year, four years after Dad's death, I gave birth to his first grandson.
    I often think how happy Dad would be I he could meet Michael, my son.
