I’ll end with a quote my mom put in my own baby book, circa 1978:
Know ye what it is to be a child? It is to be something very different than the man of today. It is to have a spirit yet streaming from the waters of baptism; it is to believe in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything; for each child has its fairy godmother in its soul.
Francis Thompson, “Shelley”
Welcome, Rachel.
