Pictures Can't Capture

I'm a photographer. I find worth in a blurry photo. I have a passion to capture emotion. But a picture can't capture the way my heart swells when you snuggle into my chest when you're tired. It cant capture the pride I feel when I walk into a room and you go crazy - laughing, gasping, tongue out, and clapping! It can't hold on to those hours when you need me because your gums hurt from brand new sharp teeth. I hate when you hurt but I love to be the one to comfort you.

Last night was a tough one. Teeth again. I cuddled and walked around the room. I left the hallway light on by accident and when I walked by the mirror in your room your face was illuminated by the cascading light. You looked like an angel. Your legs curled over my arm. Your solid body was tucked under your pink blanket. Your head on my shoulder, cheek squished. Your eye lashes are so long. Your lips, puckered perfection. Your hair smells so sweet and is so soft. You are like a little dandelion.

I love you so much it hurts.

Wordless Wednesday

Panniculitis?

So I gave you a homemade popsicle this weekend and you LOVED it. It felt so good on your gums (your two top teeth are going to break through any time now) and you sucked on it for a long time. But you know what happened? It made your cheeks so cold that the little fat cells in your cheeks were damaged. Now you have big two red circles on either side of your mouth and they are hard. I thought it would go away within in hour. Its been 5 days. I called your Pediatrician crying. I didn't know what to do - it was a POPSICLE for crying out loud. I didnt know it could hurt you. I am so so sorry. SHe said there's nothing we can do. That its going to take time for the fat cells to warm up and take shape again. I'm afraid some of the red will stay on your cheeks permanently. I know there could be worse things but I want you to be ok :(

Please please get better soon!!! I've said A LOT of prayers, I hope He is listening.

LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS
