A Game

My friend suggested that her facebook friends play a game.  I am to take the third letter of my first name, 'R' and think of one word that describes her and then another word that describes her father, who is dying.  To describe my friend, I thought of the word "rare," as in someone more precious than gold, and for her father, the word "righteous," as for a man who is non judgmental, generous, and who always stood by his beliefs.  I hope she likes the words.
