My Girls!


I don't think I've ever wrote about the sublime sense of surrender I feel every time I am roused from slumber by my girls.


Lucia is a force of nature. She is adorable, intelligent, and very much aware of the attractive traits, both physical and otherwise, that she possesses in abundance. When she wakes me up, it is like being surprised by the warm, lapping tongue of the sun, as it greets me through the slotted blinds.


Carmen, on the other hand, is like the soft, comforting pitter-patter of a gentle spring shower. Carmen is a subtle, beautiful wonder. While perfectly capable of carrying a discussion through her gurgling exclamations of joy, she prefers to discourse with her eyes. And before you know it, you're in love. Again.

I would say it doesn't get any better than this, but that would be a lie. Every time they wake me up, I experience my daughters' love as if it were the first time.
