Nicey Nicey
Because today is her birthday.
Because we share sunrises
and exclamation points,
and because I’ve written about her wonderfulness a time or three …
This one’s for you, Niece
♥
Then, out of nowhere and just because, I’ll get a text or a call or an Instagram from Niece.
She sends me a sentence, a phrase, a paragraph of my words.
She quotes my quotes
& I find that the kindest, most sincere, coolest compliment ever
🙂
I salute, I toast, I enthusiastically applaud this genuine soul I call, Niece.
🙂
Knowing her Grandma’s anniversary was approaching and my heart would be feeling reminiscent, knowing I adore poems, pictures and stories of encouragement and support, Niece took the time out of her busyness to send these beautiful words by Henry Scott-Holland …
🙂
Instantly mushy my heart became, because along with yummy, cascaded memories of a dining room table, of family and laughter and coffee and everyone talking over each other with a warmth so beautiful, so encompassing … ♥ …
& donuts.
always, always donuts.
And it makes me happy knowing my mama lives on with this simple, randomly wonderful gesture.
🙂
Happy ! Happy ! E !!
Thank you for being so nicey, nicey YOU.
