"Dazzling, absolutely dazzling" I think to myself as I stare into Avery's eyes. I hold her close. I could hold her forever. "Alright sweetheart, it's time for bed.""Read me a story first Mommy!" I smile before replying "okay, but only one."She hops off my lap and wanders over to the book case.Her face scrunches as she tries to decide on a book. She runs her fingers along the spines and quietly reads the titles to herself. She finally pulls a blue spined book off the shelf. She runs back towards me and jumps up on my lap."This one!" She says excitedly."Sweet Dreams" I read the title in a soft v...
