Heart of the Diamond

My Dearest Katherine,
I know from time to time you will doubt the beauty, strength and courage that lies within you, but always know it is there. No matter how hard life strikes you, how many times it chips at the outer casing, inside is the heart of a diamond that has no flaw. Just like the stone you held in your hand was once covered by the ugliness of the world, see it now for what it truly is.
Love for always,
Uncle Patty
