Daughter

    I would like to tell you about our younger daughter and all the reasons that she is one of the best people in the whole world. She hugs her all her teachers every day she sees them and always has. I love that she uses a handkerchief when she has a cold.  She always wants to snuggle when it's bedtime. She has a stuffed monkey that her godfather gave her for her second birthday and she calls him Twoy. She buys dollar store moustaches and parades around like a model with them on. She is our older daughter's answer to prayer. Every teacher she's had talks about how good-hearted she is on her report cards. She reads every night before she goes to sleep. She tries to talk to the grumpy, bitter old lady next door every chance she gets and she always wants to give money to homeless people. When you want to buy something extravagant for a friend she offers her entire bank balance to you. She looks amazing in all her clothes but wears jeans & a t-shirt everyday. She is the only person brave enough to ask her grandad why he is so grumpy and she is infinitely, unbelievably patient with her learning disabled sister who is sometimes amazingly hard to live with. She knows all there is to know about the planet Jupiter. She can do the goat monologue and song from the movie "Hoodwinked" better than the goat can do it. If you are sad, she understands and knows that being quiet and not saying anything is the best thing that you can do. She really laughs. She likes to hold hands. Chocolate and sushi are her favourite foods and she has no idea how beautiful she is. I never imagined that I would ever know anyone as amazing and intelligent and exciting and hilarious as she is. I love her with all my heart.
