Waiting for Daddy

I took this portrait of my Granddaughter. At the time her Daddy was in Iraq, and had sent a set of fatigues home for her.

To me... her in the fatigues, and holding the teddy bear in a dangling fashion captured her longing. Putting on the fatigues was her idea, but it made her cry and she turned her back.
