It's a real<br />compliment coming from you!<br />I got a email from the Scout Guide that you had mentioned<br />me on your blog again! <br />As I was having my morning coffee, the only quiet time of the day.<br />I saw your blog about your son. Okay I can't stop<br />crying! I remember from meeting him a few years again,<br />how sweet and gentle he was, and he reminded me of my son Matthew. Thank you!!....For reminding us of what's Important in life!Matthews House and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08874488626084098360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-67249975802732707932012-11-29T01:10:45.034-05:002012-11-29T01:10:45.034-05:00Beautiful and very touching.

You're blessed with a caring and beautiful son.<br /><br />We do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in Sweden, but my youngest son, 27, studies Graphic design in SF.<br />He called me first thing in the morning( 9 hours later here in Stockholm) to see how we're doing and to let us know he's longing for the Christmas holiday and spending time with the family back home.<br />There's only one month to go ❤ before he'll be home and give me daily hugs for a couple of weeks until he travels back to school again.<br /><br />xo,<br />Ingela<br /><br /><br />Love Your Homeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851498393111241566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-72847276571666940642012-11-22T20:29:31.567-05:002012-11-22T20:29:31.567-05:00Michele-

But, for 58 years, as far as I can remember, she's never said it back to me. I ask her to and she tells me not to be "so goddamned stupid".<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Squeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345882280774447076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-41071304350779532582012-11-21T13:28:56.876-05:002012-11-21T13:28:56.876-05:00How beautiful.
