the way she...

the way she moves her head from side to side, it's her dance...
the way she claps when dora starts...
the way she half smiles when she nurses...
the way she "talks"...
the way she looks when josiah walks in the room...
the way she tolerates jack's very close and sloppy love...
the way she plays coy...
the way she turns her papa's heart inside out...
the way she feels like my little partner in every act of kindness...
the way her eyes hold the best dream you can imagine...
the way it seems like the whole world adores her...
the way she lights our life and brings us such sweet joy...

happy birthday lucy....


always yours,

mama
