Zoë

The other day, Zoë and I were taking a walk around our house and we ended up in the library.  She glanced up and saw the picture I have on my desk of my mother and me.  I am standing behind my mother and my arms are draped around her.  Zoë walked over to me and said "hugs."  She understood that I was hugging my mother, so she wanted to do the same to me.  It brought tears to my eyes.  She has the soul of a woman wise and old beyond her years.
