The left eye stayed crusty for another three months. I’d wipe it gently in the morning, once, no pressure, no agenda. And then one day in January, I lifted her from her crib, and both eyes looked up at me. Clear. Open. Wet.
The first time my daughter cried, nothing came out. how do you unblock a tear duct
I didn’t fix her. I just stopped breaking her long enough for her to fix herself. The left eye stayed crusty for another three months
And I think about the answer to the question I asked myself a thousand times in that rocking chair. How do you unblock a tear duct? I lifted her from her crib
Just fell. On its own. No thumb. No wire. No balloon.
