Ani's perspective

I miss Ani's perspective on things. It's a world where almost everything has beauty, you can love almost everything, and nothing is complicated.

I think one of the greatest gifts children give back to their parents is their perspective. Take Ani's "snow love" rationalization for example. How simple! How easy! Maybe this is why it feels like so much of me died that day. I lost Nate's perspective forever, and Ani has so few means of expression.

I wish I knew her perspective now. She can still laugh deeply. She can still smile widely. At least I know her _whole_ life isn't pain or frustration.

What I wouldn't give for song prayer or a crayon drawing.
