Dear Riva Minsky Sender,
            I just have to say that your story made me cry for the fact that you were loving and brave toward everyone you met. 
            The reason why i said you were loving was because you always took care of everyone. When your mother was sick or your brothers. The way that you faught for guardianship of your brothers  really proved to me that you love your family with all your heart.
               You are very brave because of the way (again) you faught for guardinship for your brothers. The way that even though all this was going on you still had the braveness to save your brothers and go on and still help people.
              That is why I respect you, Riva, beacuse you are so loving and brave.
