The Memory Child
“I stared down at her in my arms. It seemed like that was all I ever did. I could stare at her for hours on end, and in reality, I did.
It was hard not to. She was the most perfect baby I had ever seen in my life.
I grabbed my phone and snapped a picture to send to Brian. I must have sent him more than a hundred photos since we’d come home from the hospital. I didn’t want him to miss out on a single moment.
“Your daddy will fall in love with you the moment he holds you in his arms. I... know it.”
I held her in the crook of my arm and waited for her to smile. Her smile reminded me of Brian, which made me miss him all the more. This morning I’d worked on a word search puzzle he’d made for me, a love puzzle. It made me smile to circle words like sweetheart and ice cream sundae, knowing that he picked each word with a specific memory in mind.
“Diane?” Nina poked her head into the room.MoreLess
