I taught her early on that it's all about what's inside, how pretty or ugly a person truly is, because looks can be damaged or fade (personal experience, lol), but the true measure of a person is their actions and their heart. When she was 3 she went right up to a lady in a hospital elevator with a disfigured face (due to burns) and held her hand and said she thought she could use a friend. The lady almost cried and then hugged her.
Her mind is her greatest asset. When she was 13, she flopped beside me on my bed and said she was sad. I comforted her and asked her why she was so sad and she said she just realized that she would not live long enough to learn everything there was to learn in the world. :frown:
When she complained about some imagined body flaw at 16 (she's 21 now), I told her to get over herself, that right now her body was the best it would ever be! Boy, was she shocked and I never heard another peep out of her.
OK,
I'm shopping for a daughter in law. She sounds perfect! :smile:
