“You stand up for what is right, and for what you believe, no matter who you are talking to. I always know that you have my back, and even when you "challenge" me, I know that you still love me so much. You only challenge people in a way that is just and fair, and you always take other people's feelings and experiences into consideration. You hold the people around you to a high standard, and as a result, you bring out the best in us. I love how you always fight for others to be treated with compassion and kindness. ”
