So, tomorrow, my Spunky turns 9!
It's so hard to believe.
I still remember that exact moment when she came out into the world and I looked into those beautiful blue eyes, so huge and wide with wonder.
Only minutes old and she looked straight at me as if to say, "Hello. I know you. Have you been waiting for me?"
Not since I had looked into the face of her mother as she was put into my arms, had I ever seen anything so beautiful.
This was my baby's baby!
I have always felt that she was sent to me for a reason. I always say that she is my angel that God sent to me because He knew I was going to need something to fill that void left with my husband's passing.
She is the laughter in my day when things don't go right.
She gives me a whole different perspective on things with her funny little observations and comments.
Oh how I wish her "Poppa" could see his beautiful, funny, smart little "Miss Spunky" today and see what a lovely little lady she is turning into.
She can be a real handful at times, and she has her Grandma's stubbornness and temper, and sometimes, it makes me want to tear my hair out with frustration, but then she will flash her "Poppa's" smile and I hear his laughter coming out of her mouth, and I remember just how much I love her, and what a precious gift she is to me.
Happy 9th BirthdaySpunky.
I love you to the moon and back and I thank God everyday for the most precious gift of grandchildren.

Spunky (when she woke up): I am officially 9 now.
Teffie: Nope, not until 8:35 tonight.
Spunky: Oh great, so now I have to be 8 years old all day.
LMAO!
