A Letter for Moira

Moira Quinn,

Have we really only had three years with you? 

You are such a beautiful, vibrant addition to my life.

You are a gift.

I see joy in you – your bright eyes & your ready laughter.

You are so eager to love others.

I love the way you say “der welcome!” when someone thanks you.

When we praise you for your kindness to another,

your smile beams bright & your shoulders come up to hug your own face.

You run & jump & squeal & sing & you are a delight.

I know you are stubborn, too.

That’s okay.  That means you can stand strong.

If you give all this up to Jesus, He will use you in great ways.

I am blessed to be able to watch you grow.

Your year number four is looking like it will be pretty wonderful.

I love you,

Mom
