Hello world! This is me and I am Lissa. Not Lisa, but Alissa, but when you have a short name you can only shorten it so much as a nickname. So lissa it ended up as.
I'm a 30 years old. And in my opinion, have lived decades longer in life experiences. Some wonderful, traveling, loving, living. And some that rocked me to my core. I have survived the good and the bad. We are all just stories in the end, and I am weaving mine still.
I have been married for 10 years already, to the guy who said "I'll be you're waiter" on my 19th Birthday. I don’t know what could say love at first sight, more than that. We have been through so much together and we would not have made it without each other. He is a brilliant story teller in another art, film. He has directed so much, and is triumphing in feature film currently. I believe in him as a husband, father, and director. He is only just beginning.
I am a mom. I have 3 children. Two you can see, the two boys who fill my heart with joy. They taught me so much in their short existence. I have found how children are a gift in each one, so different and so alike.
One you cannot see, but her presence is a part of my every minute. Lost too soon, stillborn in may 2018. All three have given me the definition of a mother in every sense. I continue to live because of them, for them.
I don’t quite know who I am anymore. I am on yet another journey of self discovery. Each day a new version. I relish the days when it was simple to describe who I was. But life is too complex to be able to describe. There is a million ways, a million words on this blog to try in vain to do just that.
Let me introduce you to my family.
They are my world.
They are the ones I share my home with.
They are the ones I share my heart with.
My grief with.
My joy with.
These photo’s are already 2 .5 years old. Isn’t that always the way it goes. I am so good about documenting our lives, that I never get around to actually setting out time for family sessions myself.
