I've never before experienced love so overwhelming and complete and painful without even a smile in return. No one has ever been so unaware and ungrateful of my love and constant attention. And still, it is one of the most beautiful and rewarding kinds of love there is. Risky and ultimately heart-breaking, I'm sure. But unbelievably fulfilling.
Maya's smiles did come early. We actually saw few rare but genuinely responsive smiles...at about three weeks. Now she is remarkably social...smiling and 'talking', even laughing at just about anyone who pays her a bit of attention.
But today, instead of staring transfixed at the camera and computer moniter during our daily photobooth game, Maya looked at me, grabbed my face, and smothered me with wet 'kisses' and bubbles.
She is really my daughter!?!
