Open Letter: I think you can recognize my voice
Avery:
I was laying next to your mom last night, while you lounged in her lap. Both of us were casually talking to each other about Oprah’s Earth Day show. You were looking up at your mom, your left leg propped up on her thigh. We both giggled with each other watching you. You seem very aware of what makes you comfortable.
I leaned in close to your left ear and said something to you in a normal speaking voice. You immediately perked up and slowly turned your head in my direction. I could have sworn your eyes met mine.
I tried it again a few moments later. Again, you struggled to turn your head to look at me.
Was it that you recognized my voice? Your mother and I started to tear up on the spot.
You made my day just by being you.
I love you, Aves. You’re an amazing guy.
