Hillary

Well, I am hacking my sister's blog to let everyone know that it is her birthday today. Can you imagine that this lovely lady is sweet sixteen today? A few of the character qualities that Hillary possesses...

1. Compassion. If you are hurt, or just feeling down Hillary is the one that you want to go to for sympathy. She always is willing to stop what she is doing to comfort a hurt, read a story to the injured or pick John up to cheer him when life gets to be too much
2. Sincerity. You can trust that Hillary is being honest when she is sharing her heart with you, and if you ask her for an evaluation she will be honest there too. I am not saying this as a nice way to say that she does not mince words, she speaks the truth in love!
3. Creativity. I suppose that since you have been reading her blog I should not have to expand on this one too much, but I must mention that Hillary is very creative in more ways than pictures. She is never afraid to tackle a new project that she has never even see anyone do before. I guess that out steps creativity a bit, but that brings up another quality of Hillary's, her adventuresome spirit.
4. Cheerfulness. Hillary's name means, "a person who never saw a cloud on a rainy day." She possesses a spirit of cheerfulness that often lifts me from my dumps. Sometimes, as I am laughing at something that she has said, I think, "How boring my life would be without Hillary."
   
5. Humility. Hillary is willing to take correction, which as her teacher in school, is something that I value highly! Her lack of desire to bring attention to her own achievements is a blessing.
   

The list could go on.... Hillary, thank you for being such a great sister, my dearest friend who knows me better than anyone and loves me anyway, for all the help you are here at home, and for setting an example to me many times. I love you! Happy Birthday!
