BABY DAUGHTER

"Even in early stages when her vocabulary was very limited, I could make myself understood and she, too, could make herself understood. Exclamations of delight made my whole being shiny and new: clapping her hands, gurgling contentedly, her soft smile -- all were part of the love that kept growing."
