P.S. You want to know what still makes me cry, after a year? There's a girl I knew, not really well, from my church—still know her parents and sister—you can read more, if you really feel up to it, at http://www2.caringbridge.org/md/clareschmidt/index.htm. She was seven. Goddammit.
My daughter is two and three-quarters years old. She is alive. She is, as far as everyone can tell, healthy. I am grateful and terrified at the same time.
I am going to post this and go tiptoe into her room to check her blankets, now, and put my hand on her small body, and feel her chest rise and fall. That's as close as I come to a cure for sorrow.
