Grier at nine

Grier is nine.

She really is nine. I’ve counted and then double checked and it’s really true. Physically her dimple remains the same, her smile is the same, her heart is most definitely the same. But somehow she turned nine.

She’s covered in bruises always from football, tree climbing and general shenanigans. She brushes her hair as infrequently as possible, loves pockets, bubble baths and dipping oreos into milk. She’s probably going to be a mega famous YouTuber, but will also find time to work as an artist and ice cream and sweet shop owner. Probably.

She’s a self described tinkerer. Spends her time tinkering, making, creating and repurposing.

I am enthralled and enchanted by her outlook on life. She’s an incredible mix of whimsy and imagination coupled with a relentless positive attitude and a determination bordering on steely. Change and newness are invitations for something better, smarter, faster.

Of course no one can be upbeat and happy always. Everyone is not OK sometimes and secretly I love it when you’re sad and look for comfort from me. I can’t imagine anything more important than being that safe place for you.
