I hadn't heard! :(
Rest In Peace, Sister Sue.
My prayers are with the SMWC family.
You know Sue and I had many a disagreement but I respected her and thought highly of her. Its suck a huge loss however, I know she's at peace and her gift to us all will be with us for years to come. The sister taught me that death while sad, should be celebrated because they are with God. That lesson has helped me so much over the years..
As for the walking... It depends... during the week its either before or after dinner and on my breaks from work if I can with meetings, etc... during the weeekends I try and walk in the mornings either as part of a race or just get out and walk... I would LOVE a buddy... just let me know when and where :-)
Hello there! I'm so glad to meet you. Yes, yes.. I LOVE being an only. There is nothing wrong with it at all. : ) Your little lady will love it too. She will grow up with all of her parents love just the way it should be! : )
Thanks for stopping by! Come see me again soon.
We all loved her,
God did too.
