That sweet little girl on the left was so full of love and promise.... still to this day that remains true. Rayven has ALWAYS been such a sweetheart. Never once has anyone made a negative comment about her. She's happy, she's smart, she's driven, she's kind, she's honest and most of all she's the best kid anyone could ask for. 💜 Even during her "rebellious years", she was so kind and polite about her protests. She'd argue with intent, passion and purpose, never for the sake of arguing. When she wanted to prove a point, she did her research and came to the table ready and effective. More often than not, she'd get her way simply because she earned it. 💜 Rayven doesn't stray away from challenges, but she doesn't hit them straight on either (that would be our other baby Phoenix), instead she dissects them. She carefully and intricately examines them, THEN makes her move. Which I can ASSURE you she didn't get from her mama...nooooo! Rayven is a tough cookie and a hard nut to crack if you haven't earned that place in her life, but through and through she is and always has been a deeply emotional creature. Her attention to the tiny details in life are astounding. 💜 She's very calculating and deliberate. EVERYTHING for Rayven has meaning. She isn't reckless, she isn't foolish. She's organized and precise. She's stubborn and she's a fierce competitor. The qualities she possess are second to none. Everyday that she grows closer to flying the coup is everyday we're less sad and more eager to watch her grow. We CANNOT wait to see what's next for her. 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 💜 #TheHydesUnleashed #Journey365 #AndBeyond #RayvenSkye #RayvenIsHerName #Marvel #2021Graduate #NavyBound⚓️🇺🇸 #FirstBorn #Aquarius🧜♀️ #Swimmer #SuperHero #Independent #SmartyPants #NoCeiling #NoNorms #Sweetheart❤️ #CatLadyInTheMaking #Tattoos #CactusFlower🌵🌸 #NightShade (at Ortonville, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPUV9PTF3hL/?utm_medium=tumblr
