Good Luck Charm

I know I go on and on about my good natured, happy, smiley daughter. No apologies. We are blessed with this angel in our lives and she is all about changing the lives of those she meets.

Last night we went to cousin Michael's baseball all-star game. It was right in Santee and close to the house so that made it easy Hadarya fell asleep at 7:04 in her crib with her lovey and pacifier. We scooped her up at 7:20 and put her in the car and headed out. She stayed zonked out in the stroller through two innings and loud cheering.

Then she woke up. She opened her big brown eyes and tried to figure out where she was. I held her and she twirled her head around at the noise and shook a little with the cold air. But she wasn't crying and she wasn't upset. Just figuring it all out.

Michael came up to bat and his team was behind. We called to him to notice Hadarya and his eyes lit up the night. He wandered over to the fence to say hello to her and she reached through the wire to touch him and smiled. She had not smiled since waking up!

Michael went on to hit a double and steal third base. His team was powered up and began hitting and scoring...winning the game and advancing to the next level.

The power of touch and a smile. Boy did she make Michael's night!


Then he got up there and smacked the heck out of that ball for a double and went on to steal thrid.
