INDESCRIBABLE

1: that cannot be described
2: surpassing description

I rarely regret that I've limited myself to one word titles for my blog posts.  Sometimes it's a challenge to find exactly the right word to convey what I'm thinking.  Other times a word leaps out, wanting to be explored.   More often than not, I'm thankful for the discipline and focus it provides to my writing.  But on a day like today, it's a true challenge.  One word to describe B?  That's nearly impossible.  I've tossed around several options: strong? complicated? varied?  What one word can encapsulate a child who is

Silly
Sisterly
Creative

Nurturing
Fashionable
Funny
Generous
Hungry
Beautiful
As I've written this post and searched through our photos of this daughter I love, I've decided I do have one word to describe her:  MINE.  She's many other things - most of them wonderful beyond words - but she is and always will be mine. I'm so thankful she is.

Happy 9th Birthday B!

I like the sisterly and fashionable pictures because they are really, really fun. The beautiful one looks like it should go in the funny category, but, still, I like it anyway.

Precious Girl, Lovely Thoughts. Isn't it wonderful to God to see his attributes in our children. They truly are a blessing. Happy Birthday to B. Enjoy this next year with her. :o)

Did you share your blog post with Becca so she can see how her mom is saying such beautiful things about her. As a side note, you used PICTURES to help show your words, which makes me smile after the circle we've gone around on photo vs words as a good tool :) I thought they worked great together...

Aimee - I did let B see the post so she could see how much I love her (when she's in doubt). I hadn't thought about the fact that I reverted to images when words failed me. Food for thought...

B is all of these things and so much more! You did a wonderful job of saying what I feel about my granddaughter. I love and miss you and my 3 girls!! Ma D
