My family (blood and by marriage)...I'm so proud of every one of them. David, who is gorgeous inside and out, who can see a reason to smile no matter what, who completes me. Daniel, the least judgemental person I know and an old soul in the ways of the heart. My little Ryan...for his ability to laugh even through his tears. All children...their strength & ability to love, no matter what, amazes me.
