My youngest lovey. I seriously can’t get enough of her. She’s the morning hug, that’s a total embrace, complete with leg wrap, and warmth.  I gobble her up. We talk often of not growing old. She says she never wants me to die and I kid that we could put the same number of candles on her cake that we did last year. Once a week she asks me to hold her like I did when she was a baby upon bedtime. I do. I cradle her in my arms and sing sweet lullabies.  We are Pisces girls. We engage in like activities and talk about how they will be our forever activities even when she’s older. Hiking, painting, dancing. As long as she wants me I’m always going to be there to meet with my sunshine girl.
