Penny

As frustrating as it can be when she cries for reasons I can't discern...

As much of a relief as it can be when I turn her over to Matt for the constant entertainment and attention she sometimes demands...

As tired as I am by the end of each evening of caring for her...

When Penny falls asleep in my arms, all I want to do is sit and hold her and cuddle her all night, breathing in the smell of her skin and kissing her baby-soft hair.

I try to appreciate these moments. There won't be enough of them.
