0426 Was It A Smile Or A Cry? For Salma

You reminded me, and I dug it out - the snap I've always hated but didn't know why; now you've reminded me and thank you - they know they have to stand with their back to the sun so, without thinking of you, but thinking of their future thinking about the past they make you stand facing the sun so you squint and screw your eyes up which is bad enough while they take random advice from the other adults and then as if that wasn't bad enough they say 'smile! ' as if they're saying you can win this race (for us) . Is it a smile or a cry? it's the record of the first time you lied on camera for your parents who should be ashamed. It would be more honest if instead of smile or watch the birdie or say cheese they said 'Now lie for the camera! ! '... and somewhere truth would smile.
