Dear Elder Snowflake,

Whether life knocks you down or lifts you up, your character determines your level of endurance, bravery, grace and humility.  

No one can determine your character except yourself.  

In every test of character, you have the choice; the choice is up to you to be the better person.

Safeguard the person the Lord meant for you to be and become the person the Lord intended for you to be.

The gifts of love and regard bestowed upon you by your mother, family and friends, hopefully will carry you through any hardship and guide you  Home.
