I totally love and cherish how witto Hannah wrinkles up her nose and squints and squeezes her sparkly eyes shut as she bubbles over with joy while beaming her sunny smile! So stinking precious.
I have been thinking a lot lately how much responsibility I have as her Mama in helping her preserve her childlike innoncence and cheerful, optimistic outlook. I have tried to be more bubbly and cheerful in the mornings and all the day long (not always an easy task). I feel like I owe little Hannah my best. She brings out the best in me and I should do the same for her! I never want her to stop smiling. I know life isn't always sparkles and sunshine, but with a cheerful heart and happy disposition, it will always be bearable...and why settle for just bearable...I'd say life can even be JOYFUL...come what may, no matter what hardships and adversity we experience...LIFE IS JOYFUL! Hannah helps me remember this.
Please never stop smiling, babygirl. I will do my best to model this for you. My dearest Mama did that for me! I will try, try, try my hardest to pass down this precious gift and legacy of joy to my lovely ladies. I am so glad it is intrinsic and innate for you to be so beautifully blissful, sweet Hannah. I never want life to beat that out of you. Never ever NEVER! I will always strive to protect and preserve this graceful and radiant quality you brought down with you from heaven.
What a wonderful post very sweet and sentimental!
