Lorin was still feeling a little under the weather, so we snuggled on the couch early one morning watching a
Max and Ruby DVD. Lorin put her arm around my neck and smiled at me.
"I love you," she declared, unprompted.
My heart soared. Is there anything better than your beautiful child, who you've spent over 2 years loving, and caring for, and giving up sleep (and your whole life, it seems) for, recognizing that love and returning it?
"...Max," she finished.
Oh well.
