grace was in all her steps,
heaven in her eye,
in every gesture dignity and love.
- john milton



i think this quote could have been written for kiele. everyone who meets her knows. there's always been something special about kiele; something that is almost indescribable. people often tell me what a great child kiele is--how she's special--and i always tell them that it's because of kiele. nothing that i have done. there is a goodness in her soul that seeps out her pours. a goodness that cannot be taught. i have no doubt that she will make a great impact on this world someday...greater than i could ever imagine.

kiele has taught me more about life than anyone else ever has. and yes, she has taught me grace, dignity and love. now if only i could be half of what she is. she is one amazing child and i'm so proud and lucky to be her mother.
