This is beautiful. A daughter is a daughter from the day that blue line appears on the test. Her time growing inside your wife, her three hours outside. So precious, no matter the medical terminology. A beautiful name, that conjures the image of an Ember, small but burning bright. Forever. ๐Ÿ™

Thank you, Joanne. That means a great deal. I especially appreciate that you acknowledged both my wife carrying Ember-Ruby and my perspective as her father. That asymmetry matters to me, and I think you captured it beautifully.
