Your little diaper story reminds me of when I was beyond dispair after the loss of our stilborn daughter and trying to feed our daughter who was relearning out to eat after her open heart surgeries, and I just began sobbing. She took her bib and started wiping my eyes. Oh, the tenderness is still there, 10 years later! THANK YOU for sharing so beautifully.
