Tonight Was A Good Night :)

Tonight was a good night :)

In a town a few hours from me, there is an event called Sparkle that I go to every year. And ever year we get all dressed up to take pictures.

Two years ago, Beatrice picked our outfit.

Last year, Monday picked our outfit.

And this year after a brief wardrobe crisis, our original host Emily/Tink, who is still a little four year old, wanted to pick out what we wore. We wore a pink dress with puffed up sleeves and a petticoat, and a tiara, and beautiful iridescent wings.

This is the third time Emily/Tink has fronted after she stopped being the host when the body was four. She never felt safe in the world.

But tonight we wore a pink dress and a tiara, and when I co-fronted with her during the event, she got showered with nothing but compliments, there were little girls running up to hug us and take pictures, and thinking we were a Princess.

And Emily/Tink got to see the lights on the trees and hand out candy to kids and she just had an amazing, amazing day.

And after all that, I think the best thing is, that while that day had such an impact on us, it will also have an impact on those little kids. They will get to one day look back on those pictures and hopefully remember just as magical and special a time as we had.

I am so happy that this is the third reunion Emily/Tink had with the world. And I hope that remembering seeing the lights will comfort her, even if she never fronts again.

She finally had one good night.
