Realization for the moment:

8 months ago, I was much more upset (not vocal, just... perturbed) about seeing Amanda's hair in my dryer vent.

Not quite on the order of seeing Scout's (my brother/sister-in-law's 3 year old pug) hair, but I still had this "this doesn't belong" furrow in my brow.

Now, I see one of her long brown strands, and I smile.

Funny what 8 months'll do to ya.
