He
has been hanging with my parents when I am at work (mostly half days
this week while I am running around for school registration,
coordinating health providers, etc). It’s a very early start - we need
to be out the door by six. Usually he is chattering away by the time we
leave the driveway. Today, he was out like a light within a few miles
of leaving the house.
Neglected as he had been in terms of proper nutrition, he’s just a little sprite of a thing. I carried him in from the car... he startle-jumped when I reached for him, but once he realized it was me, he latched on tight and nestled into the shoulder of my down coat.
These tiny snapshot moments come and go. When was the last time someone just scooped him up? (and when was the last time he allowed it?). It is in these little moments of vulnerability that my heart swells the most.
