A tender moment

A tender moment, amidst the casual brutality of daily life.

Sarah is my wee girl. Wee Chub-Chub, Muggles, Chubby Girl, Babbie, Baba... Just some of the many names I lavish on her. Most seem to be linked to her fleshiness. She isn't hefty, though. Just a wee baby. With wee chubby cheeks. 

Amidst the casual brutality of daily life, where crazed bastards lurk to inflict limitless psychic damage on the 24 bus home, wee Chub-Chub is amazing.

Her face fairly lights up when she smiles. What pure goodness these little ones are. The sheer joy she derives from a wee plastic giraffe is heartbreaking, it's so beautiful.

Oh, when we were very, very young...
