![]() I have been feeling distant from myself as can happen when the pace of life picks up, I miss my writing days. But days filled with little boy laughter, smiles, grunts and farts are worth the lack of time... I wanted to write a tribute to Ruthie Lou as I did for her brother but then I was reminded of writing from when she was alive, when I would write with her in my arms and NOTHING could compare to that moment in time. I wrote the following so that I would never forget how special my girl was, how important her life was and how incredibly much I love her. As if I could EVER forget. Happy Valentines Day my sweet loves, RL & RW. September 2011~ **Things I <3 about Ruthie Lou** The faces she makes when I make out with her Her puckered lips Her popeye face Her grunty noises Her Squeals The way she moves her mouth all over How she wiggles, squirms & moves her mouth when she wakes up then stretches her feet out straight She likes to be held close to your body The smell of her baby johnsons hair Beautiful long fingernails, short stubby toenails and missing pinky nail Bony booty Skinny legs with rolls Her little pug nose, long curly blonde eyelashes, crazy blonde eyebrows remind me of papa jock Her amazing crazy hair, the perfect mix of mama and dad Blonde, red, brown golden straw hair She can lift her right eyebrow and wrinkle her forehead Her crooked smile as she sleeps Running my fingers thru her hair Her fists Her Flintstone feet **Ruthie Has Taught Us...** Imperfections are what make us Perfect Patience Parties are worth waking up for That her dad is amazing, more amazing than I ever knew Sunsets are magical I love to write Can't plan and schedule everything **Ruthies Lessons** How to share Family is number one Friends are your family, too Kisses make everything better Love wholeheartedly Appreciate the little things Don't sweat the small stuff Hug your kids tighter Every morning we wake up is a blessing Sunsets are beautiful **Blessings from Ruthie Lou** Reunited a marriage, gave two boys their parents back Helped a mama love her girls with all choices in life, good and bad Uncle ****** made it on time to Ruthie Lou's blessing Made DAD LOVE ME even more Made ME LOVE DAD even more Families are slowing down for time with each other Brought new friends together
