251. Anxious?

This is another full-resolution printable.  Mommy took this picture on the road one night as she and Dad went home from the hospital.  I was still so unsure at that time, but I was very anxious (although I couldn’t express it then) as I watched their backs disappear through the door every night and hung on until the last shred of light from the hallway disappeared as they closed the door behind them.  I didn’t realize at the time that although being conscious was novel for me, they had been doing this (with perhaps even more anxiety since I was showing fewer signs of life/”spirit”/pep) for a month and a half already.  So I’m glad they were able to go home to my apartment.  If I had understood fully at that point of course that’s what I would have told them to do, although I would have regretted that my accommodations weren’t cushier for them.  Being my parents, though, they didn’t care.
