A POEM FOR NALAH


A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam.

For a brief moment it's glory and beauty belong to our world.

But then it flies on again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky just to have seen it.

Nalah at about one year of age, a wonderful milestone for a trisomy child. Nalah had such a beautiful personality and temperament. I would often smile thinking of how she displayed family traits like stubbornness. Lately I have realized she had a good dose of patience and compassion, which she shares with her Opa (grandfather). I love this photo of Nalah. I am so glad for the memories we have.
