Mat makes a friend...

[pallidbat]

We went to the library today, so Chris could pick up some books to read on Marta. I ended up getting two knitting books, so I'll have something to read during the night when Mat nurses. Anyway, Mat was hungry, so I found a chair in a quiet spot, popped him out of the wrap, and settled in for a good nursing. Everyone pretty much ignored us,

That's... amazing! What a beautiful gift of trust you gave that woman. I'm sure you made her day. :D

Moments like that happen, might be better to not question the Why, and just enjoy.

Right before I took him back, she gently caressed his face with her hand, and brought it to her lips.

You know, that particular gesture is such an intrinsic part of my culture, and yet I can't verbalize exactly what it means. It's sort of catch-all expression for babies and children, meaning that the child is not only beautiful but that you're blessing it with happiness and good fortune.

Oh wow, thank you!
