This time of year I often reminisce of people who's lives have blessed mine. The list is long. How thankful I am for many - from my favorite checkout clerk at Albertsons to role models at church to friends whose kindnesses continue to take me by surprise. I seek out quiet moments (always trying to find QUIET moments) to savor the individual personalities of my children and appreciate the good man I married.
Jacob recently came home from school and shared a letter with me that he wrote in school to his hero. I was teary when I read the salutation. Of all the people he could choose as his hero, his choice surprised me.
It made me think about who my heroes are. Again, I have many who I look to for inspiration. But my heart singled out my beautiful sister. What a special connection and enduring friend. And since I snagged her photo on her recent trip to California, you get to enjoy it.
Now - the letter:
WOW! You've made me cry.
