Six Weeks

7/21/15

12:08 up late with Emilia Clare. She spent the evening out at Scout then a promenade through the streets of Nashville.  Her senses improve and the scents become more defined and real to her little pig nose.  The most exciting part of the past week, the slow uptick of the sides of her lips.  It seems she finally recognizes Daddy when before it was just Mom and her bountiful boobs.  We laugh now, we make animal noises and her eyes turn up like I’m looking into a mirror.  The past 10 days the most amazing and foreign so far and I expect every 10 days to bring more.  The family refines my soul bringing together the loose pieces of a life re-establishing the foundation scattered about after my parents divorced.  She is the rabbit out the hat, a little tinkerbell, the best prize at the county fair not like the giant bear but the oversized corndog funnel cake and cotton candy combined.  She is perfect, she is mine.
