LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

My goodness how can one woman capture so much of my love for so much of my life? I’ve got it; I know why it is. It is because you have always been charming – even when you were little, really. I can remember it. No but that’s not it – at least not all of it. I know, it’s because you’ve always been incredibly kind. That’s getting closer to the mark. You are the veritable personification of hospitality in a world that has lost track of what that’s all about, closer still. You breath a warmth and affection that melts hearts – little children run to your arms and leave the richer for it, aunts and uncles too, grand aunts, grand uncles, sisters and brothers – lots of sisters and brothers, and nephews and nieces and brothers in law, and friends and neighbors, even second cousins and second cousins once removed. Everybody who comes within a mile of your loving heart comes away richer for it. I’ve almost got it, but not quite. You light people up with your life precious girl and I for one love you madly.
