Thank you nancia for this little reminder, we all need to remember this sometimes in our lives!
I am going to say the same, except I have a fantastic DH, two great sons, ages 21 and 17. I am going to have to realize to be more thankful everyday and learn to let go. My 17 yo will graduate in three months! Uugh! I have loved being a part of this online quilting group who I call friends.
Thank you so very much for Reminding us about the important things in life!
