I should have known from early on that Grace would walk the road less traveled. However, I was a bit distracted as many of her first artistic endeavors ended in time out or the bathtub. She carried The Chronicles of Narnia in her backpack to Kindergarten and copied books page by page (including the illustrations) into notebooks when she was six. She always looked at the world from a different angle than everyone else, but I really saw it as she did when she started playing with a camera.
Her world is twisted, off center, and beautiful. She could never be described as a flower - for she is most certainly the bee. She has a bit of a sting but without her we would have no honey and the flowers would die.
