A Most Thoughtful Gift

On my 39th birthday I received what is to date the most thoughtful gift I have gotten from any one of my siblings. My sister gave me a necklace. Not just any necklace, but a necklace that for me is the meaning behind what I have attempted to do my entire life…. LEAD. It is a necklace of meaning beyond words. “The necklace made me think of you, ” she said, “I’ve always looked at you as the leader of our family and the one we want to follow.”

Life will at times throw you a curve ball, and it will even appear to be insurmountable. Believe in yourself, keep your head up, and never compromise who you are. You never know who is watching, who is listening, or who is depending on you to simply be you. At the end of the day you have to look yourself in the mirror, be proud and march on.

Thank you Diana, for making me believe in myself, and for being you!
