I got this birthday card from my parents 2 years ago. What I love about it is that the person it describes is who I aspired to be and also who my parents say I am. I'd say that is a pretty cool place to be in life. I keep the card next to my bed where I always see it as a reminder of who I have been, am and aspire to be.
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.
And on your birthday, I'm wishing joy and blessings to you, my beautiful daughter and friend.
Thanks Marmee and Pappy!
That is so nice of your parents. What a thoughtful card. I would aspire to be someone like that. Always being unique and stand out from the crowd. The words are so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
