      I think highly of Sarah due to

• her openness and confidence she has in me as a father
• the way she laughs and cries
• how she hits her road to life
• her refusal to be distorted from our society
  

      What I have to accept

• her impatience
• her strong own will

     I think highly of Hilmar because

• he let me go my own way
• that he's got this travel bug
  
  
  
  

     What I have to accept

• his meticulousness and slowness
• his tendency to complicate things
