This is my Fourth of July daughter: in between rounds of sparklers and ground flowers, she checks in on all of the neighbors in our yard to make sure that they have enough sparklers for themselves. She watches some fireworks, then of her own volition goes into the house to grab snacks and cold waters for our friends. Handing them around, she asks, “Are you having the best Fourth of July party ever?”

My heart just bursts with love for her.
