Sound

Know what the most beautiful sound in the world is? Waking up to Elijah humming. That's all. No, that's not all. Know what an ugly sound is? A "Thud" as his legs give way and he falls to the ground, followed by the sound of hyperventilating to catch his breath and then the humming of the nebulizer. Hearing him say: "Have Dad get me water, I don't want you to leave," is both consoling and painful. So glad he wants me near him, so painful because he is in the position of needing that. Healing please work more quickly. Nevertheless, such gratitude that I get to hear him hum.
