What I got for Christmas?

A pack of 152 crayons. My grandson was impressed with that!

Music- that which you sing , that which fills your soul!

An out of print DVD movie.

An afternoon decorating tote bags. How cleansing it is to do something creative

One life left this Earth I will remember his dignity,

One life started.Welcome to the world Evan Harrison.

A friend finding out she is expecting.

Mended fences and happy hours, tears and laughter

Peace after the argument. I cannot see the path or travel it without him . Nor would I want to.
