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.
