But we also can rejoice that we are one day closer to heaven than we have ever been before. It can be scary, nerve racking, and filled with uncertainty. It definitely is not for sissies. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara

They at least bring perspective, a hint of wisdom, no need to coverup, only slowly fall... Nice monoku, Phyllis!
