Ahh, but those liquid brown eyes. .... Just the other day I was crying without even realizing it and my baby was on my lap. Then I felt a little lick on my cheek and when I opened my eyes ... hers were looking deeply back into mine. So liquid .. so dark ... so trusting .... so compassionate .. and oh .. so non-judgemental. Those liquid eyes just said "mommy I love you please don't cry and hurt".
