Lately I've been focusing on myself and who I truly am. I've been concentrating on my beliefs and opinions and developing my conception of who I am, at the root.
And I keep thinking back to you.
As one of sixteen grandchildren, I'd let myself fade into the background. I know we've never been particularly close, but we have always loved each other.
But now I must admit: I feel as though I've lived in silent awe of your character.
I see in you compassion and a steadfast faith in the goodness of people. You value others and see their greatest potential. You understand that we, as any sort of group, have the responsibility to help others achieve their greatest potential. You cheer on the underdog and also praise the lucky who reach the top.
In your own life, you've made the best out of potentially difficult circumstances and you have always remained optimistic.
It is your unwavering positivity and humanitarian outlook that has inspired me to become who I am today.
I love you so much and value the influence you've had upon me.
I hope you have the happiest of birthdays and I'll see you soon!
Love always,
Wendy
