SuZ, thank you so much for the compliment, I love that line too, and for the congratulations, Suzanne is my favorite name, it was my sisters name who died in childhood, I always wanted a baby girl and I would name her Suzanne in memory, but that never happened and never will, Constance

what a weird thing, Constance. it reminds me of a song a long time ago but I forgot the song. About a baby born and then the mother dies after giving birth to it.. Tragedy and joy together. Very nice. Congrats.
