I find this to be beautifully poetic. It just so happens, and any of you who know my girl know this, that Emily has always had an unhealthy obsession with rainbows. Early on, her goal was to organize everything in the correct order...ROYGBIV. Everything. It then grew to loving anything with as many colors on it as possible. One year for her birthday, her favorite gift was her rainbow umbrella. I even had a rainbow MICKEY MOUSE antenna ball on my van so she could recognize me in the carpool line.
