Dear Jonah (a love letter)

Oh Jonah...  my sweet little baby with the white hair that hurts my eyes to look at it when the sun shines on it just right because it is like a mirror...  I know you love me, I do.  I know by the way you dissolve into hysterics when you haven't seen me all day and I walk in the door.  I know by the way you smile when I sing to you and everyone else in the room in cringing.  I know by the way you rock out with me in the car like a crazy person.  I know by the way you rest your head on me when you are tired.  But when, oh when, will I hear your first "mama?"  I've been so very patient...
