Last night, my cousin Carina, who is turning seven this week, came up to me, saying she had a surprise.
"Melissa, I have something for you," she said, as she sat down next to me.
"What is it?"
"Here, I'll read it to you." She pulled out a letter, carefully written on a piece of notebook paper, which took her a good half hour. I looked on as she read, and was ready to cry by the time she finished.
Dear Cousin Melissa,
I hope you have a good time and you're a great cousin to me. You have a great laugh too. And the joy you have it makes me have joy too. And I like your praise and I love the way you smile.
Love your cousin Carina.
If you aren't misty-eyed, you must have a heart of stone.
