The firsts. Round two.

First smile, first bath, first cooes,
First tzedakah, first lulav first shabbos too

By far much better in any weather
Than first seizure and first fracture

Little girl is well traveled already,
First trip to shul, to the mall, to the airport,
And she's touring the boroughs she seen three already
But no visits to hospitals or specialists or surgeries

At two months yossi was below his birth weight, now Miriam Simcha is the same age and she's already moving to the next clothing size and doing more still. She's starting to find her fingers, to move around in her bed, to observe everything going on.

And I just keep watching her in awe. That she's here, that she's healthy, that she's mine.

Tomorrow

Whatever it is, whatever  it will be,
I'll carry on
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
But I'm hopeful that things will go my way.
Everything works out in the end, we know it always does, so I pray I'll see it clearly right away
Tomorrow we'll know which way
Tomorrow is the first day of a new chapter.
