Say ‘Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma’

Last night I was snuggling with Harbor and I found myself subconsciously saying…’say ma-ma-ma-ma.’ And as I looked at him I saw Cooper.

I immediately flashed back to seven years ago and all the times I encouraged him to start making sounds.

I waited for so long. Calmly at first.

But eventually desperate.

Here we go again.
