3 Good Things

I'm doing physical therapy and this baby is crying. This is a familiar scene at Easter Seals as it is a pediatric therapy center. It's familiar until the little baby is walking towards me. I mean this kid is coming for me with a fierce determination. I'm sitting on a mat table and she is standing there crying. So, I start rubbing her back.

It was one of the most tender things. Unfortunately, the little girl would not stop crying and the nanny had to take her outside. I did not know this baby but she sure made a bee line for me.
