You're so right. Just when you start to think it's all white noise in the background of their minds, these things happen. And thank you for sharing the resonance. There is nothing like the love of a dog (both senses of "of": that we have for them, and that we feel from them). Our daughter still draws Maxie into every family portrait. Every single one. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbfamily/2466526942/" title="Untitled by LesbianDad, on Flickr" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2238/2466526942_62225c801b_m.jpg" width="240" height="171" alt="" /></a> Many thanks to you, doulameg.

Isn't it amazing how kids find the perfect moments to demonstrate to us that what we say matters, in fact, so very much? That they are, indeed, listening and watching... I have been reading your blog for some time now, and have been especially moved by your posts that reference Maxie. This one brought tears to my eyes. Just wanted you to know that your thoughtful reflections resonate over here with this lesbian not-yet-parent. Sending you gratitude over the internet... Thank you, LD, for such a sweet story.
