It seems I do little more than run around like a chicken without a head. <br /><br />I still remember that last Monday started with me goofing around about the Super Bowl.... we both were.... who knew what was coming in the moments and hours ahead....<br /><br />I'm glad to have you sharing this journey with me. The burden is lighter-yes, big damn cliche... but so very true....<br /><br />xoxoxoAnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728571907921895836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008503505414285765.post-89697062641284026842012-02-12T17:16:30.905-08:002012-02-12T17:16:30.905-08:00I love the quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson, Beth. ...I love the quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson, Beth.
