Ruby

I love...


...her old soul, her surety, her seafoam blue-green eyes, her wisdom, her pointed feet, her musicality, watching her journey from falling in love with guitar to being proficient at it, our conversations on the way to guitar, her ballet bun in her golden-red hair, watching her dance, her grades, her awareness of others, how she defends her dad, the way she shops:  know what you want, see it, buy it...her calm nature, the natural way she cares for her siblings, her freckles, her tears, her laughing fits, the talents she doesn't realize she has, her decisiveness, lime green hot pink and bright orange, her firm grasp on reality, her late-night talks (or listens) with Freestone, her creative writing, the time we spent homeschooling, imagining her future as bright as her favorite colors...
