For the love of Christmas

For the love of posing by the tree.

Proud of the Picture

School pictures arrived.

Abby, loving her teacher, asked for a photo.

Today in her cubby, a special envelope.

She opened it with pride, not letting it go. The gift she’d requested.

We’d hang it on the refrigerator, I said, where the other prize pictures are presented.

Disagreeing, she immediately responded with a desire to decorate her door.

Art added. Now posted.

ENT

A hearing test and exam today.

Checking the source of so much pain.

Found to need the tubes again.

November 13th.

Remembering how she sat on my lap for the tests and exams prior, I smile at this independence.
