Beach House Toes

July 21, 2011 by Amy

Emma’s 9 month old toes, freshly painted, ensconced by my own, as I hold her, help her be.

Emma’s toes 8 years later on the same brown carpet in the same gray beach house looking all grown up, too much like her mother’s but without her.

I may not be holding her, but I’m there. She’s inescapably mine.  And I miss her.

        Just for the bloggy record, I miss Lexi too but I happened to have the pictures of Emma’s toes.

      No she bought one just like it. I asked the same thing.

    So much can be said with pictures. This speaks volumes.
