I even, inadvertently, came up with "The Stripes Tell A Story" as part of a title. You can view the post here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/stripes-tell-storybut-whole-story-duane-france-ma-ncc-lpcc?trk=mp-author-card<br /><br />I'd like for you to reach out so I can provide credit for the photo, and I'd like to hear what you think about the article. Thank you and your husband for all that he did and what you did to support him.

Especially since so many of mine are on the same plane, sometimes so much so it's scary. I'm sure at least part of that has to do with us growing up (literally and figuratively) together. Your girls are just as beautiful now as they ever have been and they are amazing, strong and talented young women. I wish for them as well as my Little G that they have someone in their lives as they grow that is our equivalent of each other. I'm so thankful to have you as my "sister" friend. I can't imagine my life without you. <br />Ditto, always.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157167123567705702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6188652322707370686.post-49237627833249738252014-01-22T07:53:31.869-06:002014-01-22T07:53:31.869-06:00bravo!!

As far as things I would like to do..I just do something I want to do everyday, weather its sitting outside and enjoying the sun or watching a show or whatever. I always feel that everyone should take a lil time out of their day for themselves even if the kiddo has to tag along or you have to wait for their nap,lol. There is always a way and a lil time one just has to work it in.HomeMadebyKellyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483688238849225991noreply@blogger.com
