Citar means “to quote” in Spanish.
The following post is from exactly one year ago, just a few days after I reached out and held a slippery new soul in my hands, one that stretched me and changed me, and has continued to every day of this past year of his life. Though it’s only been a year, I love every part of him and his big sister, the one that made me a mama, with all the breath, smiles and tears, of all of my life.
“I love thee to the level of everyday’s most quiet need, by sun and candle light… I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life.”
~Elizabeth Barrett Browning
There was a moment when I went in to give my new little man a kiss. He reached up and grabbed my face.
