This one watered my eyes

My mom took this photo in the morning as I soundly slept.  I saw it for the first time tonight.  The thoughts that grew in my head were as follows.

As a parent I like to remember as often as possible, that it is of the utmost importance for Lou to feel the depth of simple captivation with herself as I feel for her.  The more this has become important in that direction the more it has become important in the other direction.  I find it much easier to be taken aback by her beauty than my own.  I think we can meet somewhere in the middle.
