Most mornings, Selah June gets up at about 7:00, has a bottle and snuggles with Mom, and is back down by 8:00.  I have to be at Grammy’s house by 9:30 usually, so that I can be at work for a reasonable portion of the day.  I treasure that hour.  I kiss those cheeks as much as I possibly can, and I caress that head and those hands without ceasing.  I want her to know that though I’m not with her for part of the day — unfortunately some parts when she’s awake and having fun — I love her and think about her always.

The morning light makes this time of day seem even more special and sacred.  I wish I could just bottle it so that it would last forever.
