The Most Beautiful Thing I Have Ever Seen
Inukshuk Farm wishes all our clients, neighbours, friends and family both safety and good health during these trying isolation times. I am happy to share my granddaughter’s essay on what she finds “beautiful”. Perhaps this is a time that everyone can take a deep breath and reflect on what is beautiful in your life.
There are seven billion smiles but yours is my favorite.
Seven billion laughs but yours is the best.
Fourteen billion eyes but yours are the most gorgeous.
Fourteen billion hands to hold … but I choose yours.
Mom, you are the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen. You are my anchor in this stormy life. You are my best friend, my teacher.
Every day I strive to be like my mother and my wish for her is to see herself the way I see her. She faces challenges with confidence and wisdom. She always told me that everything happens for a reason and good things can come out of these bad times. I’ve learned to not question the process, just trust it. 
My mom and I fight sometimes. But, no matter how many times we argue, or how many times I can’t understand her, or how many times she scolds me, I still know she is the best mom in the whole world. My mom isn’t the type of person to lean on, but the type who makes leaning unnecessary. She could take anyone’s place, but nobody could take hers.
My mom is a hard working woman. She wakes up every day and puts the comfort and happiness of our family ahead of her own. Now that I am sixteen, I realize just how strong my mom has always been, but especially when our family went through a really tough time a few years ago. She told us kids that everything was going to be okay, even though she couldn’t have believed it herself. She put a smile on her face and did her best. Mom stayed strong, went to work as a fulltime school teacher, and put me and my brothers first. I know now how hard that was for her.
My mom is my voice of reason. She is a story teller, teacher, partner in crime, shoulder to cry on, a hand holder, confidant, peacekeeper, and my BEST FRIEND.
There is no doubt that my mother is, “The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!”
