to say it out loud

Have I told you about my middle son's fiancee'?

I should say this to her face. Why is it so hard to say the nice things?
to say it out loud?

Well, if you know her, you know that she is

sensitive

I could learn a lot from her, for I have far to go down this path

kind
she willingly helps family and friends
she is great with kids


smart as a whip!
she is constantly learning new skills, trying new things, and doing it all the right way

Quiet

once again, I could use a dose of this

BRAVE

new job

- twice in the last year!

new city
new apartment
no problem!

faithful and fiercely loyal

hard working

she has been chef's assistant at our New Year's Eve dinner (with 70+ guests) for three years running, working two plus days straight side by side with him, her fiance'

with excellence

with humility

skill

and patience

 Melissa

she doesn't hear it enough

not from me, anyway

one goal of mine this year: to say it out loud
