Where but in
Paris to read…..
“There are many things that will tell you
the true measure of a man – the way he kisses, the way he holds his fork, the
way he talks to his mother on the phone…..A man of grace and humor. A keeper.”*
C’est
magnifique! And I have a few more:
- · his genuine kindness toward others
- · his patience
- · the way he takes your hand tenderly & unexpectedly
- · a smile in his eyes, a twinkle, a spark
- · the confidence to be honest
- · his quality of giving
- · his work ethic
- · the ability to apologize…and mean it
- · the way he helps you on with your coat
- · the way he appreciates you – your kindness toward him, your meals, your smiles
The combination
of strength with tenderness and caring makes a man.
