each day
my heart is so wide open as i breathe in, i breathe out. i hold onto these days (she grows so fast), yet i often just try to get through pieces of them.
but then there is laughter. but then there is a sigh. but then there is dancing and just the right song. but then there is the quiet truth of a baby breathing softly as she sleeps. and then there is what is real. and i find myself immersed in joy and hope and truth.
my heart (her heart) opens my eyes (my life) to a deeper truth than i thought could exist.
and there is laughter.
and there is a sigh.
and there is dancing.
and there is quiet realness.
and there is love.
there is love.

Liz,
You should write a book about Ellie and the struggle you have went through. You have a poetic sense of writing about it.
