I distinctly remember writing a reply to your comment...I must have hit delete and it deleted your comment as well.??? Christmas gremlins at work, maybe?? "Thank you Andrea. I appreciate your generous placement and will share congratulations with William. May this Christmas Day be a special memory as you celebrate this December and 2022 as a most remarkable time in your own history."

thank you Christuraj. Blessings on your Christmas Day - reflect on why Jesus was born as you reason through your own birth and its significance.
