I just stood there and I really did not know what to do. How can I take pictures? The moment was so sacred that I even did not want to make a move. Than I realized that I'm so lucky that I can see the pure act of unconditional love with my camera in my hand. Should I miss it? I made a decision and I got a wonderful gift.
