Some women (in my life) deserve to be put on a pedestal, Lu, in spite of her flaws.
Women have flaws. These flaws are particular to the woman involved - but as long as these flaws are not functionally destructive to a healthy relationship AND she's a beautiful, gracious and loving person - she deserves it in my book.
If she earns the pedasatal - and by earn I mean its just part of her inherent good, kind-hearted nature, she deserves it.

Lu, I've been lucky enough to
really get to know a special woman at one time. In exchange, this person got to know me.
I cannot begin to describe how genuine, honest and loving she was. I took the good with the bad and have to say the good outweighed it by far.
I'll initially give a woman the benefit of the doubt cause I'm a nice guy. And if being a good natured, reciprocating guy ain't enough for her, I'll be man enough to step up and say its not going to work.

Accepting this woman for who she is was the
easiest part, Lu.
She was just that good of a person. I won't get into more personal stuff, but I'll say in terms of overall relationship quality she was just a cut above.

Proper.
She used to get stopped by scouts from modelling agencies at the mall and at major events.
