Love In Bloom

What started as a bit of a whim when the Mancub turned one has turned into a tradition of birthday letters written to each of my grands on their special day. 

Today is one of those days...

Dear Little Miss, 

Our wildflower. We adore you. 

I guess I should say more, but honestly we all turn to mush when you sashay into a room. You brighten every space you enter and remind us all so much of your momma...strong, smart, tender hearted, and funny. 

Now you are two, and watching you grow is one of my greatest joys. 

You love your Momma to bits and are the light in your Daddy's eyes. You've got him wrapped around your teeny tiny finger, and like your Momma and her Daddy I don't think that will ever change. 

You think life is better with accessories and if they're pink so much the better. Pretty dresses, your ruffled jacket, bracelets, hats, shoes, sunglasses, and don't forget your purse. You love to have a purse on your arm. 

Other things you currently love...books, playing with your brothers who are at your beck and call, Pawpaw (also at your beck and call), Hunley, watching videos of your baby girl cousin (can't wait til you're on the same continent!), walking, talking, your backpack, the water, and being in the middle of everything. 

I cannot wait to do all the girl things with you and your momma and your aunt and your cousin once you're back stateside.

You are completely precious and we all adore you. 

Happy birthday little miss. Our wildflower. Always bloom where God plants you and know your Nana loves you deep and wide xo 

"The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Isaiah 58:11

  3. How sweet! I inadvertently named my wild child, whom I think of as a wildflower, after an actual wildflower (the name Alyssa comes from the flower alyssum, which is considered by most to be a wildflower). Anyway, enjoyed reading about your wildflower granddaughter. She is loved for sure!
