Everyone who knows me knows that I have a difficult time
telling a short story. I appreciate that all of you who read my musings are
busy people, and in the interest of trying to respect your time I try to keep
the stories short. But I may have done a bit of injustice to the tale of the
baby shoe charm.
I still feel no need to walk you through every step of that
day, but what I failed to say was that the entire process took the better part
of the day. The first half hour was the trip to Mount Sinai for my appointment
early that morning. Then, more than 5 hours passed between the time we left
Mount Sinai for 47th Street and the time we arrived home. So, in
total, we spent 5½ hours securing that little shoe.
As we recounted the detailed story to Dina, she made an
interesting observation: it took us more time to obtain that little charm than
it took Dina to complete labor and give birth to an entire new human being!
Love,
Rebecca
