Not too long ago, I dug some samples of daily wear contacts out of the back of the bathroom vanity drawer. It had been quite some time since I’d worn them, and I was getting tired of taking my glasses off every time I wanted to snuzzle* the baby.
Well, Shazam! I could see everything so clearly it was startling. I stood on the front porch looking at the trees, gaping at all the leaves. When the baby woke up from his nap, I went to get him, taking a moment at the nursery door to marvel at how crisply I could behold his loveliness. I picked him up, brought him to my face for a kiss, and disaster struck. He was totally out of focus.

*Because I have a reputation to uphold: This is not a typo. Snuggle + nuzzle = snuzzle.

Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice post.
