if babies could hold on to memories...
and someone asked hattie in 30 years what she remembers most about the early days and months...
i feel like she would answer "my mama's necklace, the one with a bird's nest and two pearls. the one that has my sister's initials on it. the mama bird one. the one she never took off. the one that her freaky internet friends sent."
she snuggles me the majority of her day, she sleeps next to me, she plays with my face, her daddy brow furrows, and she focuses on that necklace. it's always close to her.
i imagine she will one day ask me what "dj" means. why there are two pearls. where did i get it.
and i will tell her. all about it...and then some.
