WOW! What a great, touching story for a movie! You'd have all the emotions covered. I cannot believe (for as much time as I am on BW) that I missed this thread. Since it is now tax season I am back to work. However, it is somewhat earlier for some to have gotten their w-2's from their employers yet, so I've had time to be on BW. I caught the thread a couple days ago and I swear it has never taken me so long to finish a thread (somewhat due to the tears welling up in my eyes and blurring the words on the screen). I wasn't able to read any on Friday. When I had read it Thursday my boss looked over at me and asked why I had tears running down my face...then he realized I was on BW. He just shooked his head and continued his work. He really is a great boss. He just thinks I'm a little boxer crazy (aren't we all).
As I was reading, I was hoping you were going to call your new addition, Jasmine (that's my babies name). But I'm really happy you decided on the name Grace (that's Jasmine's nickname).
I'm also very happy to hear your household is now a loving, playful family. All us here wish everyone in your family all the best.
