We had the oddest experience last week. Like many parents, we have the tradition of taking first day back to school photos. Indrani finished her HSC last year, so there was no back to school for her. At the last minute before Ril left for school, I asked Indrani to jump in to have a photo with her brother.
Here they are. They make my heart feel like bursting. There is no other love like it, right?
Parenting is funny. We see our kids every day. We know they are growing and changing but somehow, it's photographs that show the true difference.
Ril went from size 4 in shoes last year to size 10. We knew he had gotten taller as he surpassed me in height towards the end of the year. But I don't think we realised just how much he had grown until we compared the 2023 and 2024 photos.
