My wife re-arranged my daughter’s bedroom recently leaving the bed under the window. Before I turn in for the night I usually stop in the kids’ room one last time. On Monday I stopped in like usual — seeing my daughters face in the moonlight, with snow falling outside and her bear tucked under her arm … it was a moment so beautiful it made my heart ache. A while back I mentioned a song with the refrain, “When I look at the stars, I feel like myself.” That was how I felt, that night looking at Elise.
