ELEVEN

eleven.

we've reached another era 

~ she planned the entire thing,

chose her flowers,

decided on the menu, 

gave instructions on the cake she was after

('you just need to divide the cake mix

into two different bowls

& throw in different amounts of red colouring...'),

baked and prepared the rest in advance

 after her ballet lesson last night.

i look at her and marvel every day. 

kind.

smart.

important.

and so loved.

(I don't think any movie scene has made me well up 

like the one above from The Help
(all the more powerful
when you watch the whole movie
and see the context)

~ oh the power of words,

and uplifting each & everyone,

big & especially the small...)
