Elijah was between 5 and 7 days old, living in the NICU, and about to meet his sister:
Supergirl was only twenty months old at that time. Closer to one and a half, than to two. She had already endured a six week separation from her attachment parenting, hospital bound mother, so he was like the frosting - when he was born, maybe Mama could come home too!! She adored him from the beginning, and was gentle, gentle, very gentle with him:
These were precious days in the way that diamonds are precious - beautiful, but someone always dies for it.
Funny thing is, I've always loathed diamonds, while I've always loved babies.
Elijah was so beautiful. His eyes speak volumes.
ReplyDeleteI may have said this before, but I understand why you said that Yirmi reminded you of Elijah...
ReplyDeleteYou have happy memories of him. That means a lot.
He is such a gorgeous baby, such bright and shining eyes. I can see why he stole your heart.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those babies are beyond gorgeous. I am sure that boy stole many a heart!
ReplyDeleteI actually love diamonds, but I love babies more. And yours was a big big love.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, R, B and E...
