The pure innocence of babes, there to behold as you did, not only with your arms but more importantly, with your heart. ❤️ Such precious moments between mother and child. I’m grateful she has you!

Thank you for sharing this moving story with us! God bless you and keep you and all of your loved ones safe in the palm of His hand!

Such a spare, true, moving piece. A beautiful example of not over-telling, giving me room to attach your story to mine with my daughter. Thank you.

ah thank you so much Rita - I appreciate the note. it's so hard to walk that line when writing. I'm glad the piece resonated.

It really did resonate. You took me back to a specific, glittery memory with my girl when she was about the same age, and also sent me forward to her teen years, when I did not have the same power to comfort that I did earlier. I'm going to have to go back and read more carefully to see how you did that!
