What a wonderful post and message. Thank you so much for sharing such an uplifting message - I have been browsing the posts - not sure if I still belong here since David's death. I always cry, but today I am excited at your post and think I will stop today on yours. I look forward to hearing of you celebrating many of your anniversaries!
WAY TO GO! YOU ARE WINNING!
All my best,
