The integration of her authentic speech, especially the last two words are very powerful. Beautiful memory for both of you. I can see you gifting her with a memory album someday, including this very special poem. Thanks for sharing a bit of your family life! God bless you.

Taking activated charcoal helped a lot. <br />I can just hear a child checking on whether everyone else is asleep, and I love the way you describe her being weightless in the bowl of your body.
