And as those of you who know Leah can attest, there&#8217;s no better way to show Leah she&#8217;s cherished than with the presentation of a completely frivolous (and in our case, almost downright reckless) gift, which I have taken the liberty of procuring.  In fact, the gift is in our house right now, sitting mere yards away from Leah as she reads this (yes, <em>YOU<\/em>, Leah).  I won&#8217;t come right out and give it all away, but I will provide a little visual clue:<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2281\/2234893682_e8013cfa68.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2067\/2234893902_22a36f5cf4_t.jpg\" alt=\"clue\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p><em>Whatever could it be<\/em>?!  If Leah can guess (and even better, if she can suss out where I&#8217;ve hidden it), I&#8217;ll modify this image so that it pops to a full-color view.  I wanted to give her this present early because I didn&#8217;t want its giving to get lost in the hustle and bustle of her family&#8217;s visit for Leah&#8217;s official b-day in a couple weeks.  Also, my little shlumpkin could use some cheering up.  I hope this does it, or at least helps&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With everything else going on, and most of it negative and\/or very sad, it seems like a good opportunity to mention that February is the month in which Leah was born, many, many years ago.
