she listened

I knew a lady once. She was what I would imagine most angels would be like. Kind, caring, generous, thoughtful, driven, wise, and INVESTED. Invested in others. Intentionally invested in her family. Intentionally there making the one she was with at any particular time seem as if they were the most important person in the world to her. She simply had a way of welcoming you in and giving you value when you struggled to see that you had any. She saw through the struggles of childhood, through the struggles of a broken and pieced back together family, through any obstacle it seemed you may be facing.
