Bethy, as per our conversation last night, I would probably describe myself the same way you did; fat and ugly. But I know there's a world of improvement I can make on the outside. That's all you and I are looking at.

What made you a good daughter, Hon?
1. Loyal
2. Caring
3. Responsible
4. Understanding and sympathetic
NO ONE can take this away from you!

You are MY friend. I find you
1. Loving
2. Loyal
3. Tenacious (you didn't give up on me when we were going through rough times)
4. Humorous (we find healing in our silliness)
5. Creative (Child-like... as opposed to childish. It's our inner child that does the creating. It's a GOOD thing)
6. Artistic
7. Likeable as well as lovable
8. Inspirational (You're circumstances as well as thig thread are making me take another long, hard look at myself and my life.)
9. Courageous!
