My sweet baby Elle 💛 ..... I found this beautiful vintage outfit in an old trunk that belonged to my Grandmother a few years ago when I moved into her old house.  I never remember going through the trunk when I was younger but when I started sorting through it, I came across this outfit as well as a few other clothing items, shoes and photos.  I believe that the outfit belongs to my Grandmother's first child-- Susan.  She became sick and tragically passed away at the young age of 2 and just a year before my Mom was born.

My Grandmother and I had such a close and tight bond.  It's hard to put into words how much of a connection we had.  She shared a lot with me when she was alive and told me so many stories but we never really talked about Susan.  When I looked at this outfit a few weeks ago and thought about Elle and how she was big enough to wear it this year, I cried.  It's like enduring the pain that she must have felt more than 70 years ago.  I cannot imagine anyone going through the pain of losing a child at such a young age.  I also wish I would have asked about her more before my Grandmother passed away....I still have so many things I wish I could have talked to her about. 💕 📷: lwaterhouse84 waterhousestudios
