HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVIA!!!

happy
HAPPY
BIRTHDAY TO
NANA'S GIRL
11 YEARS OLD?
Say it ain't so?
Oh how I miss my little girl!!!
Should of put duct tape on her back then Is what I'm thinkin today! Oh how cute is that ...

Yep
Nana's girl
playing a straw,
eating little tomatoes rather than chocolate
drinking the bestest ice water in the world
if made by the Nana~
Now hits
11 years old!
The greatest thing
if there is one
about her growing up is
she is a kid
of wonderment
of
great kindness
and
has tremendous passion~
AND
she still knows the Nana makes the bestest ice water
in the world!!!
AND
she is
KIND.
She is a kid that is bright, funny, resilient
and
true to herself, with a mind of her own.
Much of who she is today at 11 is the result of great parenting by Joan
"the mama"
the everything that gives her balance and structure
and
reasons to awaken with a smile
and
an
attitude when needed to be all that is needed at all times, cos my girl is a warrior of gentle spirit.
AND
if pushed
she has a look that could stop a hippopotamus at fifty yards.
You remember the look?
BUT
SHE HAS
a smile
that melts my heart
and
outshines
the sun

back then
and
NOW
and
we are still smiling
as she grows
and
discovers
and loves and learns
and
let's us know of all that she thinks.
BUT
the thought
for this day
is
"DON'T BLINK"
cos' all too quickly we realize we should have
used duct tape to their feet and their little bodies to keep them little
and short and small enough to carry on our hips
and tickle
and cuddle
and just
well
you know
hold and play with
like little bitty puppies and such.
BUT OHHHH NOOOO
she's growing
and
changing
and
developing a mind of her own
and
beauty
that is going to make us
have to lock her in a closet soon enough
and
recruit D'Vante to sit on the front steps
up there in Maryland just in case some
boy want to come around and ask for a date.
He should be a strong enough deterrent
for any such nonsense that any such boy might just have on his mind
when it comes to dating issues.
D'Vante is on board
when it comes to his "little sister Olivia"
and
plans to "step in"
at a moments notice
and
I'm thinkin that will be better than
sitting there with a shotgun!

So
today I'll remember when she rode her first pony, and then wanted to take it home,
saw her first sunset
and
got hit with the first jellyfish
as a little one
while
realizing that
up in Maryland
she is out of school
cos' it is a
National Olivia Day
and
she is probably dancing to Paramour
and
Just having the best day "evah"
with the bestest Mom of the world.
She will feel the love of the Nana
at a distance
and
I'll say
Happy Birthday Baby
in a bit
but for now
I'll blow some bubbles
and
look for Fred The Lizard
and remind him
It's Olivia's birthday!

One thing I know
kids are a lot like wet cement; whatever falls on them tends to stay there
unless u have some good grit to or heavy rain to wash it all clean.
AND
the great news is
if you place your best intentions in and on your children, then let spirit and the Creator
fill in
they will do alright if they are willing to try
and
Olivia is a young one
who
says
"everyone should just do their best, leave others alone and accept them as they are, and not judge".
From the words of babes,
my girl.

Into the light,
better wear your shades
friends
Olivia is so bright and her light within
might just burn your eyes!~

Shine on baby
Nana and Mom are right here
the
Ice Water is waitin!

Wherever you are today
wish my girl a happy one
but
you can be sure
she is already in it and having it
running like a pony
and
feeling the wind in her hair
Blessings to all who gather here
on this most remarkable day.

Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

Happy Happy Happy Birthday to you Ms. Olivia.
Now that you are 11, enjoy each and every day of your young precious life, going forward.
I never met you, however, the Nana has spoken enough and I feel as though you are familiar.
As for me today, another 8 hrs on the beach, in the water, kayak, snorkeling and enjoying.
Prayers and blessing go out to everyone.
June 7th, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh how spectacular !

Oh no, sweet, beautiful Olivia. You were just a baby and now 11yrs. gone by. I cant believe it I think Nana is right and we need to get lots of duct tape for you. I know you are the bomb and those shoes, by goodness you look so beautiful. Your straw blowing in the wind. I can imagine what a day you will have, a beautiful day with all of your friends and great thoughts from Nana and all of the friends and family who are watching you grow. You are the bomb. I can remember some of those sweet days and the wonderful days to come. Hang in there beautiful one and keep going with a smile on your face and in your heart. Angels surround you and the love of Nana, Mom and all of us watching you grow. Love and hugs always to you on your special day. We love you
