my first born!
my misty!
she was born older than most! even as a toddler she wanted to be around the adults. so afraid she might miss out on something! she was so motherly to her brother when she was very young! she always looked after him, making sure he stayed out of danger. she cleaned up after he would get sick because her mama would end up throwing up too! she was strong willed and independent, she hasn't changed much in those things!
she has an infectious smile that is always present!
her smile can melt my heart and fill it with warmth!
she is a sister, a wife, a mother and my daughter!
this week i am spending a few days at her house. i have lived with sasha and bobbie for over a year, so this time is special for both of us! i have realized that even with that constant smile, she still needs her mom to love on her. i spend so much time loving on those that i live with that i had forgotten how much i have missed loving on her! i am so proud of the woman she has become. she is honest, loving, kind, blunt, organized and so OCD sometimes! this week i get to see her and jeremy parent elliott. i get to see them live out their daily life up close. i get to do little things around the house that she doesn't expect that brings that beautiful smile to her face, and a thank you with such a sigh of relief! i remember when my mom would do little things that meant so much to me! i think i want to start doing this once a month! loving on her and her family like i have been loving on her brother.
as the holidays are coming upon us, let us all love on each other a little bit more. do small, meaningful things that might make their load a little lighter. and smile that smile that warms anothers heart, it just might be the best part of this season!
