I had the pleasure last night of spending time with two individuals so honest, that respect is a word that can only partially describe the feelings I have for them. Both, like all of us, have made plenty of mistakes, and continue to make plenty of mistakes, but unlike some of us, both of them look at the world with realism, and stoic, calm resolve. To bring their spirits down would be a difficult task. So, despite my reservations, and my strict personal rules, I had no regrets with spending the night with one of them, and the subsequent morning, because she is truly a rare personality to come across. May I some day find the same personal strength she has.
