“I love you so.”  That’s what Sophie and I say to each other.  It’s a very simple phrase and, in of itself, there’s nothing incredibly special about it. But I just adore the inflection in her voice when she responds, “I love you so, too.”  It’s warm and fuzzy, and makes me want to squeeze her in a huge bear hug.

No matter how old Sophie is or how much she grows, she’ll always be my huggable, cuddly, loving little Sophie.
