Eyelashes

You were born with 6 of them. 3 on each eyelid. I remember staring at them in the hospital, the first days when we first became a family. 6 of them. I remember thinking to myself... "hmmm.. only 6... I wonder why only 6. I wonder if she'll get more. If she has any Dorazio blood in her, she should have more."

One day, when I wasn't looking you decided to sprout the rest. BANG! There they were! A million eyelashes.

Now I stare at them every day.

And tonight like every night, I kiss them goodnight, over and over, until those beautiful eyelashes stop fluttering, and you're dreaming with the angels.

I wonder when it'll be appropriate to teach you about mascara? hmmmm...
