your kindness

dear gracie,
i have learned so much about you this summer. i have learned that your heart is bursting with love. i love watching you discover other kids at the park, pool, store, etc and instantly want to know their name, age and favorite color. you are so social and friendly (now don’t get me wrong, a little stranger danger will do you some good, too. we will work on that!) i know you love to talk and ask questions but i believe your true desire is to know people. to care for them. you ask daddy how his work day was and you ask me how the sick kids at the hospital are doing. you are genuine, curious and sincere. don’t ever change that. don’t stop saying hi to every kid you encounter, even if they don’t respond. don’t ever stop asking the elderly woman in the grocery store how her day is going even if she doesn’t hear you to respond. don’t ever stop sharing your glowing grin with others.don’t change a thing about your sweet, kind, inquisitive heart. your soul is precious and has so much to teach all of us about loving others.
love,
momma
