MP asked his readers to describe someone who has made a impact on us while we were growing up... here' s my answer:
The woman who first comes to my mind is a priest in the church I've attended since middle school. She has always been there and has never hesitated to let me know when I'm being out of line or stupid (in slightly nicer terms).
She is direct, practical, thinks for herself and doesn't really mind if people don't agree with her or decide not to like her because of who she is or what she believes.
She has gone far outside what is required of her and since I can remember has treated me like a niece. When I've had problems at home she would let me stay with her (provided I did my share of helping out) taught me how to bake pies, drive a manual car, and garden and gives amazing hugs.
She is firm and open in her beliefs and although stubborn (and occasionally extremely oblivious) at times, has mothered many on her journey, making many of us feel special, loved, important.

Are we talking about my old friend from Plainfield here? If so, you are indeed blessed.
Yes, I believe I am.
Thanks, and I know it.
Allie, it was good that you had her for a friend and mentor.
