Being there (without a camera)

Some of life's most precious moments are only captured in memory.

This morning, Shreya was playing on the bed, while I was combing my hair, getting ready to go out. My cell phone was lying on the bed near her and she suddenly abandoned her toy, picked up the phone, cradled it to her cheek, and clearly and unmistakably said "Hi" into it.  I dropped the comb and scrambled to find the camera to shoot some video, but by the time I had returned with it, she had lost interest in the phone and was happily playing with the comb, and I could not coax her to repeat the performance.
