I never knew how much I really focused on my weight...

Hi Nicole,

I think in general I have found peace with this. You know, it wasn't until she was much older and her own beauty had begun to fade, like that of a mature rose, that SHE found more comfort and value in who I was, than what I looked like. I think overall, I had come to terms with that myself much earlier than she had.

Thank you for your lovely, thoughtful note.
