Chief among them is my wish for you to see your wishes and dreams, and Deanna's wishes and dreams, for you and your family come true - every single one of them! <br /><br />I have come to realize that posting while tired is like posting while drunk (as evidenced by an embarrassing novel of a comment I left not too long ago), so I will stop here.<br /><br />Hugs...<br /><br />P.S. "Indulgent" is not a negative word! I just want to mention that, in case that voice in your head insists on calling your writing about Deanna indulgent. Please, do indulge us!

I feel, too, the love you have for her -- it just bursts out here and in the other posts.

You truly do. So tell that little voice to go away, because whatever comes up in your heart to write here is pure and true. Don't question it.
