Moon Cookie Moment

I had a moon cookie moment today. A moment that reminds me the sweetness of life comes from the most simple things. Tata & Danijela returned from Austin late today. She sat on my lap tonight as I read before going "night night." We finished & I just wasn't ready to let her go. I asked if I could hold her a while longer. She agreed & turned to face me. Within seconds her little body went limp. I held her close & listened to her gentle breathing. It was an incredibly peaceful & beautiful moment. Thank you, Danijela.
