I'm so sorry for your loss, Sheila. 8 1/2 years isn't enough at all. I know that you all made the most of every moment that you had together. Thinking about you and your family.
Sheila - very sorry to hear about your grandaughter.
On ego - centric note.
I am another year older today and sadly - heavier than last year.
Mark my words I will turn it around this year!
Change is in the air.
I will succeed in year 4 - 7.
