Today\'s adventure: You were born just as the sun rose on a beautiful July morning. I remember looking at you and thinking, How strange. Everything is different.

Sometimes, a single event turns out to change things so profoundly that it\'s hard to remember what things were like beforehand. Like the sun coming out unexpectedly, you made everything look different. Everything was new again, because I saw it through your eyes. Everything had to be named again, experienced as if for the first time. And you were alert from the very first. You\'d only been born for a few hours, and I\'d held you next to a vase of sweet peas so that you could catch their scent. I\'ve always been very aware of scents, and I wondered if it was the same for you. It was -- you opened your mouth and -- Oof! Suddenly you had a mouthful of sweet peas, and I knew right then that you were going to be someone who took life and shook it and tasted it and enjoyed it to the full.
