Crystal

"Adversity is the diamond dust with which heaven polishes its jewels"

 It takes an extremely brave person to look their challenges dead in the face and say try me! This is the particular attitude that a good friend-no-sister of mine has adopted when the pressures of the world both within and without, alight themselves on her heart. Crystal stands stoic amidst great storms, and like an eagle, rises above them every single time! She has this divine ability to tap into what seems to be boundless wisdom, and from it, retrieves the truth, and bestows it on someone without hurting them. It's and oddity since in most cases the truth feels like a piercing dagger.

 It has never been more apparent to me that her wisdom stems from a place deep within her heart where she has weathered the blows of life with celestial grace like a Queen. She reminds of one of my favorite heroines, Eowyn, a Shield Maiden whose courage and fortitude in the midst of war was second to none. I intend on keeping this short as I feel words can't describe enough the admiration and adoration I have for this particular sage, so I'll end this by saying that the wings of an angel are found on the backs of the least like people, and you are on of those people to me, Crystal! Thank you for your constant guidance. And I hope that you are blessed perpetually, and that you find it within yourself to always see eternity in an hour, and heaven in a wild flower

Your distant brother
