French la Vie

A lovely first day catching up. I didn’t take a single photo of our day I was too absorbed in the moment.

Gabriel spent the night with us, and after the happiness of Sacha’s arrival, he had a hard time falling asleep. As he lay in bed, trying to drift off, the sweetest smile rested on his face. I asked him if he was reliving the day he had spent with Sacha, and he grinned and said yes.

I told him, “You know, tonight you might dream about today, and the happiness will continue.” He looked at me, surprised, and said, “Really?” I smiled and answered, “Yes—that’s what dreams are all about.”

That seemed to be just the right dose. With that thought, he relaxed and fell fast asleep, still wrapped in joy.
