and more love.

Last night after reading a book, instead of continuing to read, Ellie decided she just wanted to snuggle - rare in these days of gleefully running away from goodbye hugs as I head out the door to work. She fell asleep on me, and I just sat there savoring the moment for a long while before carrying her up to bed. I wish I could always carry with me the physical memory of her small, warm weight draped across my chest.
