Two Years Ago Today
For the last week or so I’ve been thinking of the day Lina became ours. I swear I can still feel the heat of her, the weight of her little plump, padded babyness in my arms.
She and I are spending the day together today. I decided that I just can’t let her out of my sight. It’s a gorgeous fall day, and there are books to be read, walks to be taken, and cookies to be made.
Two years. In some ways it feels like yesterday, in some ways it’s a lifetime. I can still remember the time just before I met Lina. How the longing for her tugged at my heart, day in and day out. It wore me down and it sustained me. All that intensity, and I still didn’t really understand how amazing this was going to be.
Even now, I am only just starting to.
