Ali, The Encourager

This note is stuck to our fridge and I can't imagine ever taking it down. This is Ali in a nutshell. She loves to encourage people and point out others' strengths. No matter how terribly I may fail to meet the high calling to be the perfect mother my kids deserve, they still see the best in me. I love imagining how this quality will manifest itself in her adult life. She is an amazing kid and I am blessed to call her mine.
