For those we love! They have no earthly idea unless they have their own...and even then... Nicely done!

Still and all, I think that the pleasure far outweighs any pain. ~ Here's to the Future! ~ Gershon

"a lifetime of pain" and JOY! We know you mean that, for it tumbles over everything else in this one.

Of course, you're right, Caren. The 'pain' makes the joy that much sweeter. Children and Challenges, Gershon
