My role model for this week is my daughter Susannah, who seems quite tough and determined.
She arrived on her own schedule; the world had hoped that she might adjust herself to be headfirst, but she had other plans.
She is generally calm, despite the presence of things that resemble IV drips, oxygen masks, heart monitors. She seems to like show tunes and passages from Joyce Carol Oates.
It's a treat to sit next to her for a long while, even in an oppressive room.
She will turn one week old tomorrow. (Happy Birthday, Susannah!)
