For some, it's more than one year! I'm grateful for so much gentleness and beauty around me. Not sure I'd have seen it before 2005.

Though not in control, I'm sure your love and support, your hands and feet, were part of the process and appreciated. Enjoy your planning! <br /><br />"In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps."
