in a card from my Father...

My Daughter,
What I love about you...
 
I love the spirit of you...
the grace with which
you welcome each challenge,
the childlike wonder
that still colors
your days.
 
I love the originality of you...
your willingness
to stand out from the crowd...
your unique perspective
on what's happening in the world
and in your life.
 
I love the wisdom of you...
the way you trust your intuition...
your unfailing commitment
to doing the right thing.
 
And most of all,
I love the heart of you...
the genuine compassion, empathy,
and friendship
you offer to everyone you know.
 
I guess it's pretty clear...
I love everything about you.
 
Hallmark (of course).
~though I now have honest suspicions that my father works for them~
