But...I'm home now...for a week or so anyway.<BR/><BR/>I've had fun reading all your posts I've missed. Gosh, you've been a busy bee. I can't comment on them all, but I had to comment on this one. What a sweet and touching post. It gave me sweet chills for sure. As you know, we're waiting (not so patiently) for our next granddaughter...from China.<BR/><BR/>Hugs!<BR/>KatJustabeachkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730467440181411875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785684328749478914.post-66614618581538641242008-10-01T06:19:00.000-04:002008-10-01T06:19:00.000-04:00Wonderful story.
