I have hoped that the things that were not said somehow were conveyed by our actions. Lovely, Timothy. Congratulations!

G'day Timothy … Many of us have lived our lives with 'if only's'. However if you haven't made mistakes, then you haven't done anything I guess. A sad reflection Timothy - Lindsay
