Daddy’s Lashes

I love staring at Will, especially when he sleeps, and trying to find bits of him that resemble Courtney or I.  The moment I saw him, I knew he had Courtney’s eyes… those big, inquisitive eyes are definitely his Daddy’s.  Soon after the excitement of the birth, when all of his adoring family left, he drifted off to sleep.  It was then I saw those gorgeous, long eyelashes. They were the same ones I had stared at when his Daddy slept, only a lighter version.  Lashes that don’t lie perfectly straight but, instead, curl and twist among the others.  Babies truly are miracles… how bits and pieces of each other can combine to form a more beautiful and more perfect copy than the originals is indefinable.
