Hey, ‘manda.
You have an absolutely
unbelievable intro page.
To be so young and have all
those things you are interested in.
I wish I could bottle you and spoon you
out to my grandchildren . . . and great grand
children. Hey! I should take some myself. You seem
to have all the attributes, attitudes and interests
it takes to become a very well rounded,
successful adult. I hope you make it.
I wish for you that your heart
will always be caring, that
your eyes will never
grow dim, that
your figure will always
be trim and that God comes
out to greet you personally when
you finally go home. I hope you hold
on to the fact that trials “come to pass”.
They will pass. Storms are temporary.
Love, real love, last forever but some
will use the word to you thinking
it is a feeling rather than
realizing that it is a
decision.
Be strong.
Take advantage
of every opportunity to
learn that you are given.
Plant Hope and Mercy and
you will reap what you
have planted. See
your mistakes
early and never
be slow to correct
them. Dance. Always
dance. Good luck, ‘manda.
As Mr. Spock would say,
“Live long and prosper”.
Highest regards,
Linda
