Christina Looking at Mama

Christina Looking at Mama
Originally uploaded by interplast.

Afterwards, Christina´s mother cradled her in her arms, and they just stared and stared at each other. I wish I could have captured that, but Mama was too aware of my camera, and would look at me and smile every time I raised it. I didn´t want to keep her from looking at her daughter´s new face, so finally I just took this picture. Look at Christina staring at her mother, though, and you should get the idea.

Right after taking this picture, I left the room sobbing.
