Perfect Gift

My daughter questions me about her birth. Did you rip or tear? The color of hair? What did daddy do? The memories are vague and conflicting, compromised with age but still the stories are told.

How the milk came hard, filling the tit and your little lips found the nipple. You were a happy baby, puffed cheeks and budgy legs. Not a crier. A perfect gift!

Scene One of My Life

Exterior Afternoon

A baby is sleeping in a baby buggy under an old elm. The sun is shining on the buggy.

Voice Over

Jane There is something heartfelt about being born in Iowa.

A small butterfly flies into the buggy and lands on the baby’s nose.

The baby wakes up.
