another good quote
"I stand up, pull her covers up, turn off her bedside lamp. 'Good night, sweetie.'
"'All right,' she says. It's rare for her to say good night. She doesn't like it, I don't know why. She is turning into herself in these little ways. She is like stepping into the garden every day, when you know something is new, different from the day before. That's how children are, growing up in front of you the way they do. Sometimes it's a barely noticeable thing, like a stem that's slightly taller. Sometimes it's a blossom that's burst forth, obvious as a Vegas showgirl. 'Wow', you think. 'I'd better not miss a day. I'd better be here.'"
