Lila is 19 months old.
Just moments ago, as I sat heavy and weary from hours of reading about our present situation, I felt a tugging on my tank top.
I turned to Lila lifting my shirt, patting my belly which, at present, shows no signs of the 13 week child inside.
“Baby,” she says as she rocks [...]
My baby.
My Lila reminds me
my friend, Elizabeth, pointed out the resemblance a few days ago, and it has been on my mind ever since. Then, Lisa, shared this photo of Lila and all I could see was my mother…it’s the eyes.
