My gosh, this was a beautifully written post. Every word touched me. And yes - I felt the same looking at that expression!!! I see such sadness - but not from a temper tantrum, or a lost toy.... but that deep sadness that can't be defined... and to see such a little one with it!
wow. I really do wonder what was happening there too. What had those little eyes already seen of the world?
Happy birthday beautiful friend - thanks for touching my heart today <3
Thank you for seeing me, sweet one. I just posted a follow up 'Note To Self' this evening. I think I'm moving towards finishing up a post I started years ago for my regular blog. I've a feeling it'll offer some context for why this little human already wore such an intense expression. Stay tuned. <3
