I know many grandparents think the sun rises and sets in the back pocket of their children's offspring. Whether or not the child deserves the accolades is irrelevant. They exist, therefore, they are wonderful. However, in my granddaughter's case, she has earned every accolade and more. And I'm not just saying that because I'm one of her nanas. She has an entire village of people who love and adore her. She is a beautiful girl (which we all know is fleeting and is the least important attribute she possesses; isn't that right, Siena?) precocious, intelligent, articulate, artistic, clever, funny, socially adept, and from a grandparent's perspective, kind and nice to others, empathic, and compassionate. All that in someone who has lived in this C-R-A-Z-Y world for only nine years. I think that is incredible.
June 2013...Siena comes to the
mountains to visit one of her nanas.
A masterpiece by Siena
