A snap


Linda snapped her fingers tonight. It came completely unexpectedly. I had forgotten something out in the car and was already dressed for bed. She said, "Darn," and made the motion. She does it all of the time, but it is really more of a gesture because nothing ever happens. When an audible snap came out, you should have seen the surprise on her face. She just sat there snapping and laughing. She can almost do it with her left hand too.

That's a nice way to end the day. Earlier in the evening, she had been crying over how difficult simple things still are.
