I love my boys.
All that dirt, chaos, aggression, imagination, and go big or go home mentality can really charm a girl. Not to mention those grins. I die.
But heaven bless that I please have more angel children like my sweet Kami girl.
She is relentlessly obedient. Fearfully beautiful. Tirelessly patient and kind. Continually giving. Intelligent and creative. And just phenomenal as all get up.
(is it "get up" or "get out"? I never know.)
Kami, my happy started with you and continues with you.
I love you so much my insides feel completely explosive.
I wish you would stay little but I am marveled to see you grow.
You are one of my dearest and most inspiring friends. And you remind me every day of the virtues God has blessed women with.
I wish I remembered every day to take you in my arms and tell you how special you are to me. I'd remind you of how beautiful and amazing you are. I would spend more of my day doing my very best to help you become the girl you dream of being.
I love you Kameryn Grace.
So very, very, terribly much.
Today, as only a daughter can, Kami helped me in more ways than she knows. I was in a super grumpy funk and in a messy house surrounded by monster men. I knew I needed to clean and I knew I needed to loose the funk. I told each child to draw a chore and I'd help. Kami drew the bathroom. She then proceeded to clean the bathroom, the porch, and the family room. Mop the entry floor, vacuum the rug, vacuum the family room, mop the dining room, mop the kitchen floor, and haul all the dirty clothes to the washroom.
I kept cleaning because she kept cleaning.
I know it sounds silly, but it's exactly what I needed today.
She was exactly what I needed today.
Sure grateful for this girl of mine.
Kam-Bam,
ReplyDeleteI love you too! But you can't get any bigger! Not only because you're by favorite baby girl, but you're also almost as tall as your Aunt Mandi and she's 20 years older!
Kami G. Grandma loves you tons. I miss getting to see you. I hope that someday you get a sister too. So glad that you are who you are. An angel.
