Our youngest one turned ten years old yesterday! She is strong, gentle, kind, determined, a good friend, patient, smart, helpful and confident. She never acts like she has to prove herself, just does her best and encourages others to do theirs as well. When you are having a conversation with this child, you catch glimpses of who she is becoming. I recently asked if she would consider dropping out of school to be my assistant, because I enjoy her company. She said possibly, but only if I were her assistant. I loved that feisty response. Her biggest complaint right now is my cooking, but we will work through this challenge too. She has marked several delicious looking recipes in cookbooks for us to try. Instead of just complaining, she looks for a solution, which I admire. This one is spirited for sure and extremely easy to love.
Happy Birthday, Vivian. I love you!
