The people we meet on life's road....

I know the most incredible young woman. She is quite amazing....a devoted mother to her child, and the kind of friend most people wish they had.....me included! She's always quick with a smile & always the first to extend the proverbial "helping hand" to those in need. She asks for nothing in return. Outwardly, she seems quiet and mellow. Most will never know the strength that lies within her! I watched as she held her dying grandmother, as she drew her last breath of life. As much as she was hurting with the loss, she still did her best to comfort those around her. Life has given her some pretty hard knocks, but she keeps bouncing back, stronger for it, I think. I feel fortunate to have met her & I truly admire her. As the old folks used to say....she comes from "good stock". I think these wonderful qualities were handed down from her father.....but he's a whole other story! ;)
