MOIRA….what a girl!

Moira is my youngest granddaughter. What a gorgeous, delightful finale! Moira is alive, feisty, strong, opinionated, determined, smart, and now she’s 6. Nothing gets by this bundle of energy. She picked up language skill quickly and I have to believe she started out running, not walking. Perhaps it was the need to keep up with her older sister, or perhaps to out-do her sister.

When Moira visits us we have determined that a list of “things to do” works very well to satisfy her energy. Usually the first project is the art room. “Let’s paint”….and off we go. I’m always amazed at her painting and color choices. Of course the day has to include the skooter, going to the top of the hill, and taking the ride down. Unnerving to a grandmother….but Moira has no second thoughts about the thrill. While driving with me, tucked into the back seat of my sports car, she said “hmmm…that was like a massage Grandma”….after I had taken a turnabout with a little zest. Then, she assured me she didn’t want me to die, but when I did, could she have my car? Now this girl thinks ahead.

This darling girl is beautiful. Lovely hair, styled in a long bob. Occasionally it’s in a braid or pony tail. Her Mom loves everything “girly” so Moira will occasionally sport a few pink and highlighted streaks. Spunky lassie! She is quick to give hugs to her Grandfather and me. Every hug is accompanied with a cute little kick of the heel. It must be the princess in her. Moira knows every princess movie, sings the songs, knows the lines ahead of time. She loves her American Girl doll, but probably more love goes to her giraffes. Big ones, little cuddly ones. Pictures of giraffes, birthday cakes decorated appropriately, or anything that resembles a giraffe.

Moira’s bedroom is decorated in a Noah’s Ark theme. Why she picked out a giraffe….I don’t know. I would like to think that she saw the giraffes in my bathroom and decided it was “the thing”! It’s what started my collection of giraffe pictures, stamps and stickers. If an art project has a giraffe, it’s complete.

My darling bright, blue eyed, granddaughter. I love you more than words can ever express. I need your energy around me. It’s this Grandmother’s desire that you live a life filled with adventure and goals that are met. More than that, I want you to know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. He will guide you and grant you peace in your life.
