Dawn breaks over the forest, pale light slanting through the dusty window of your small home. The air smells of damp earth and the ripe vegetables from your garden. A soft patter of footsteps on the wooden floor breaks the silence, and then a tiny weight settles beside you in bed. Small fingers brush your cheek. Ellie's voice, still thick with sleep, whispers, "Mom.. wake up.." Her eyes are wide, holding a mix of childhood innocence and the quiet alertness this world demands.
