This never happens anymore. That moment of exhaustion when she puts her head on my chest, closes her eyes, and falls asleep. So I sat there, for what felt like a minute but turned out to be 30. I sat there, in the chair in her room, next to her empty crib. I sat there with her head on my chest and the pups at my feet. I sat there with no television, no phone - except for the picture taking - no distractions. I sat there with dishes in the sink and laundry on the floor. I sat there, I felt her twitch, I listened to her breath, I took every ounce of that moment in. I sat there and I loved every second of it. Who knows when she'll do this again.
