Each night Olivia asks me what position she should fall asleep in. And then I hug her. She says she wants to fall asleep in the exact spot where I snugged her last. This is our nightly ritual. Tonite's position was "arms wide open" so when I go in and kiss her one final time before I turn out my light I can give her another giant hug. Here she is fast alseep in her trundle bed in tonite's position...
While we certainly have deep challenges, I believe Olivia is one of the main reasons I am on this earth...to learn to love without limits, let go completely, and embrace this life...with arms wide open.

You are loved and so is Liv, by all of us.
Olivia knows this much is true, that she has a mother and a father who will always give her love unfailingly. A unconditional love without limits, without question and you will always be there for her.
It's all any of us really need.
Blessings..
Thank you, thoughtful Car...

You are precious when you write things. Dad said "If you get 54/54 on you're spelling test you get a treat." I think I am going to get 54/54!
