today tonight it is late you see
today i spent sitting in a cafe knitting... i think its a blanket...
once i received the call... i went to care for claire... my neice while all of the expectant grandparents raced to the hospital for the birth of what is now know as her sister, carmen maria. shortly after feeding young claire, and cleaning her... she and i climbed into the vehicle and off we were to meet her sister...
she was wonderful and talkative... i am sure that she really had no idea of what was really happening... but i do think she understands now... and is quite happy...
i got us lost in the hospital... of course i went into the wrong doors to begin with and so i was unable to find my way back... claire couldnt really remember and my dad, who was with us, was not there the first time.... so there we are... i found a doctor and he led the three of us out. claire talked about wanting apples the entire way out...
and then she pointed to sky and counted the stars... and it was beautiful
i read to her and put her to sleep and now i write... and soon i'll sleep
so today many things really did occur... too many things to relay... but the thing i will remember is a little girl noticing the stars... amidst all of the excitement... taking notice.
and now i think of a little strip of paper my gma wrote on... "and sometimes i dream"
