One of my favorite things about Johnny is that she hugs me back when I hold her. Once she gets comfortable on my chest, she’ll often reach around and grasp my arm or chest and pull closer in-followed by a glance up at me. When we lock eyes I can’t believe the feeling of words coming through her-that she’s sleepy, working on being comforted, slowly knowing everything is safe and she can close her eyes-trusting I’ll care for every piece of her until she wakes up.
