I remember the first day I held you. Your squishy little body delicately folded in my clumsy arms. I thought I was going to break you. But, you looked up at me with such trust, like you knew that your tiny pattering heart was, from this point on, forever connected with mine. My kindred spirit; my saving grace. Your guileless giggle caressed my ears and wrapped me in a blanket of innocence. A smile broke across my face. You were seeing everything for the first time...and so was I. I saw the whole world in your baby blue eyes. I heard the secrets of the wind in your worldless mumbles. And I felt an irreprable eruption of love in my once forsaken heart. With one sweet touch, you changed my world from a wasteland of crumpled efforts to a blank page of possiblilites. And for that, I am forever in your debt.
