"Everyday as I hold this baby in my lap, I think of my other baby. Poor older brother, poor missing one. I see the infant before me, the glory of the soles of the feet, the lips fattened and glossy with nursing, the nose whose future Edward and I try to predict daily. The love for the first magnifies the love for the second, and vice versa." ~ from An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination by Elizabeth McCracken
