I saw a sparkle on my hand and as I looked closer, I realized it was far greater than I ever imagined. It was the sparkle from one of my greatest joys in life and perfect love at Christmas.
A real love.
A true love.
And suddenly, this sparkle so pure and wonderful became so beautiful in my eyes. She is everything that is good and perfect. She is my heart, my joy, my laughter, my hopes, and countless snuggles, kisses and prayers.
This Christmas, I did get a sparkle on my hands and it is absolutely perfect.
It is the sparkle of slobber from my laughingly most perfect granddaughter, whom I love.
Merry 1st Christmas, my Sofia.
