It's official!
The D man acknowledged me via word recognition. He called me Ma Ma.
It was one of the greatest moments of my life. I was rocking him back to sleep at 5am, and out of the blue and out of the quiet, I hear it. Very gentle and deliberate, "ma ma". I melted. I literally had the hardest time believing it until S confirmed later that morning he had said it again, while pulling on his shirt.
It makes a the not so pleasant things dissolve away.
