(Almost) Wordless.... Monday?

"Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength."
St..Francis de Sales

This is a friend of mine from high school, who has become a really awesome man, husband, father, stepfather, and grandfather, as well as friend.  This is his granddaughter, and when I saw this picture on his facebook page, it instantly made me think of the above quote. I loved it so much I stole it, the picture, that is, though I'm sure he wouldn't mind, and could not wait for Wednesday to put it up here.
