“You can sing dance, play basketball, play, volleyball, paint draw, sculpt, sew, write poetry, write songs, create, act, play the piano! I could go on and on,” she wrote. “Because there's really nothing that you can't do. You are funny and beautiful and graceful, kind , and so smart. I could not ask for a better granddaughter Ms. Blue Ivy Carter!”
She ended her touching caption by saying, “I could not be more blessed, grateful, and completely in love with another human. You truly bring me joy!!”
