The Advantage to being “Blind”

There is an up side to being nearly blind.

If I take off my glasses and close one eye, I can press my face against that of my baby and see him perfectly…every fleck of black in his chocolate eyes as he stares out across the sycamore grove…every curve of his face…even the pores on his tiny, perfect nose…

…And at the same time, I can feel the touch of baby skin against my cheek, and the soft tickle of his long, luscious lashes.

It’s the best of both worlds.
