It felt so good to see her and hold her. We've met her before, back in September of last year. I was still so stunned with the diagnosis at that time that I couldn't really appreciate the magic that Claire exudes. This time, I just sucked up all the tender specialness that I've come to appreciate in I-Cell kids. When Claire smiles, I melt. I can't adequately describe the feeling of holding another I-Cell child. To borrow a hood term, she's a "sista from anotha motha." And this time Niko is six months older so she was able to interact a little more with Claire.
Here are some shots. It was hard to keep them still for photos. This was the best we could do.
These pictures are just simply wonderful!!!! Oh, how I wish Gabrielle could have been there to celebrate with these little girls!!! How adorable.
