have you ever had one of those kinds of moments where what is occurring is so cool and makes you so happy, you can hardly think of anything else?
i had such a moment this evening, with savannah...
she had brought me a book to read her, as she's wont to do as of late... and, by the time i had her sitting on my lap, and had finished reading the third page... it hit me.
i was reading goodnight moon to her, and she was turning the pages for me.
it's a really simple thing, for most people. but, it isn't for us.
wallace and i used to read savannah goodnight moon almost every night in the hospital. it was the second book we bought for her, right after she was born. i think back to who i was and how i felt when i read that book to her in the hospital.
now, she's not far off from two years old... she's walking, talking and turning the pages. i can feel the tears well up as i write this now. we're in a whole other world than we were two years ago.
i can only imagine, maybe someday, savannah will have a little girl of her own... and, i think i'll be just as proud of her reading that book to her own daughter, while she turns the pages.
i love my daughter so very very much. and i love having these kinds of moments every once in a while, too.
