I did not record what happened. I recorded the half of it that would survive being looked at by strangers.
And the last thing.
I have asked them to leave it.
The pit in front of her right ear. There is a procedure for them and it is minor and about half of people have it done at some point for appearance.
And the consultant mentioned it in the June, in passing, as a thing we might think about when she is older.
And I said I did not want to.
Not out of pride and not to make a point, and I have had to think very hard about whether it is mine to decide, and it is not, and when she is sixteen it will be hers and she can have it done the same week if she likes.
But while it is mine, it stays.
Because that two-millimetre thing is the only reason my daughter had a scan on the thirteenth of October.
