The other thing that amazes me is how you share that joy with others. One of the highlights of this past month was our trip to Cuba. You were adored by so many and their faces lit up as they saw the smile on your lips. We heard many compliments, "She's so cute", "What a beautiful baby" but my favorite interaction my have come from the little Down's Syndrome boy in Havana. As he came and so gently touched your cheeks, you gave him such a big smile! Our evening server, Ingrid, was also totally smitten by your infectious joy. She would speak to you in Spanish and you would smile and giggle at her more than anyone else at the resort. She loved to steal a snuggle and held you like you were her own.
My girl, your smile can truly light up a room, makes any bad moment suddenly ok. I am so incredibly grateful that God has given you such a joyful spirit. I pray that no matter what your journey looks like, that you will always hold onto the joy that He has placed within you and that it would continually bubble out of you as a witness to your Heavenly Father's love.
