Such beautiful sentiments Bella, my heart goes out to you on the loss of your precious Meemerz. How sweet her face is, and I pray her memories become sweet and she frequents you with joy and lightness of spirit. I know she wouldn't want you sad. But, yes, how we miss them so. Bless your heart, thank you for it, and for sharing it and your work with us ....xoxoxoxox.

I couldn't have imagined these circumstances, the recent trials and tribulations that have fallen across our small family like a dark curtain, but with time I suppose all things change.
