She has such a great sense of humor, I smile when I think of her. She just loves knowing everything about everyone! A blessing to know her. Great poem....Candice

Hi Holly, just here for a minute so I thought I would see how you are doing, you have done very well while I have been away, lots of different forms (haven't read them all yet but will catch up later), I like this one because it tells a good visual story and I too can communicate in sign language, it is a beautiful language. I also see you are getting lots of reviews now, you are a good learner, well done....be back soon...David
