A mother to take more photos being viral everywhere

News24xx.com - She started to blogging just a month ago, but Cyndy Gatewood's words have struck a chord with moms everywhere. Her June 5 post titled "Dear Dads" was a request to her husband to take more photos of her with the kids. It's been shared nearly 300,000 times.

Mom of three kids, ages 7, 6 and 4 was looking for a candid photo of herself with the children to put on her blog. But she couldn't find one. "I had selfies and photos of my husband with the kids, but none of me," Gatewood told.

Her mom died when she was 20, she said, and Gatewood's most cherished possession is a box with photos of her and her mom together. "All I see is love. I don't think about what she looks like in the photos." Gatewood said.

Gatewood said she asked her husband why he doesn't take more photos of her and the kids. And she said to her husband, "Please, if you see me in a sweet moment with the kids, just take the picture".

The reason why the post has been shared so widely, Gatewood thinks, is because so many women have a social media mentality, that something she admits to having too.
