last night i made a salad for dinner. i had brooklyn up on the counter "helping" me. as i poured the lettuce into the bowl, she looked up at me to say "i want some leaves."
the thing is, she has books with trees, but i don't remember pointing out any leaves. and since our yard consists of dirt, weeds and rock at the moment . . . there are no leaves to discover outside.
it may not make sense to you why wanting leaves forced me to scoop her up in my arms and kiss her sweet, little face. but if you understood the anatomy and physiology behind her diagnosis, it would make perfect sense. everyday of my life with her is filled with moments like these. and although the doctors can't make sense of her and her progress. my joy comes from the world making sense to her.
