If Only...

We arrived home with Olivia 2 days after she was born...I went straight to my room, placed Olivia in the unused bassinet beside my bed and I lay down.  I was physically and emotionally drained. 
Immediately, Einstein, our Siberian Husky, jumped up beside me.  He sat motionless and looked inside the bassinet, not taking his eyes off Olivia for at least 20 minutes, and I was able to capture this beautiful moment on camera.  
​It was almost as if Einstein loved her from the moment he saw her.  He looked at her with such awe and he seemed to immediately take on a protective role over her.  It's as if he knew she was part of our family, and he loved and accepted her unconditionally.  
​As I lay in bed, I cried.  It was amazing how our dog managed to do what most human beings, including myself, are not capable of doing.  He did not see any imperfections in her.  He did not judge or stare with questions nor concerns.  He was not sad, wishing she were any different.  He simply loved her.  
​If only all the world could see through Einstein's eyes...we would live in a much better world.
