Mary Alice, how come it seems sons and daughters always get taller than their parents? I mean, really if this was really true, society would be full of 7 ft people by now. Just where are all the shorter kids? Or do us older people somehow shrink? Things like this make me wonder...keep me entertained. Thanks for giving me something interesting to think about.

You know, I don't see myself as intelligent, but I will try to accept and believe your affirmation. I will try to let it soak in and let myself feel good about it. It does not matter how smart I really am, it matters that you see something special in me. Thanks for believing in me and for telling me about it.

You are a unique and beautiful person. Thanks so much for helping me along my path of personal growth.
