2. The first thing I see, and it is still true about you is that your smile lights up your face and electrifies the whole room. I am reminded of this comment while I was sitting in a cafe this afternoon, a random cute bearded old man walked by and said: "I hope the baby has your smile." I hope so too!
3. I hope Emma inherits your love of books and a hunger and thirst for knowledge. I laugh knowing full well her nursery theme is golden books, and she already has wonderful posters of great children's books on her walls. I wouldn't be surprised to see her cutting her first teeth on a cardboard book.
4. I pray that Emma will always feel loved, cherished, and protected. I love the picture of you kissing your sweet Emma's head while she is sleeping peacefully. I pray that she will always feel safe and secure in your loving arms. 5. I pray that Emma inherits your sense of adventure. I never hear the Dixie Chicks' song "Wide Open Spaces" that I don't think of you. I hope she is as
fearless as you my darling "Warrior Princess
6. I hope she inherits your beautiful head of hair; it took you a long time to grow hair and you were pretty much a cue ball as a baby. She already has a pretty good start in that department. (Yes, that's you at 18 months!
7. I hope she has your sense of humor (that you inherited from your dad). I hope she can look at a "Far Side" Cartoon and laugh hilariously.
8. I pray that she will react as strongly as you do to injustice and cruelty and will be an agent for change in her generation.
9. I hope she has an active imagination and always has some creative outlet for it, whether it's making up stories, drawing, or building with Legos.
10. I pray she will be a leader and independent thinker like you.
11. I pray that she will be physically active and enjoy participating in sports. Can you see Emma as a young soccer referee?
12. I pray that she will always keep the lines of communication open with you even if you don't agree with what she is doing. I always loved that you didn't shut us out of your life. I love this picture because I was on the other end of the phone and can hear her "little noises".
13. I pray that you can give her Wings and Roots. Happy Birthday Becky.

And I pray the she grows to know and love and appreciate her Diva and Poppa for their love, their faith, and for the tremendous knowledge that they have to share with her. And I hope she relishes in the JOY of her Diva's stories and sense of humor! All of which have apparently trickled into her beautiful mommy... who I'd like to wish a verrrrry happy birthday to today!
And Daisy ... you never TOLD me that Becky was a WARRIOR PRINCESS! WHEN do I get to MEET this divine creature of your creation??? I can not wait!
Momma, I'm gonna call you "Merryweather." Heehee... I'm sure Becky won't mind, just so long as you don't kidnap her daughter in the middle of the night, only to raise her in a deep forest, to keep her far away from spindles.
Daisy - What a touching tribute to your daughter. You're an amazing woman yourself.

Merriweather was always my favorite of the fairies (she was the blue-dressed one, right?).
