bellapretenda ::: Favorites 2007-11-20 06:46:39 Will you do me a favour? Will you draw a picture of your mother at her most beautiful - young, vibrant and smiling and place it somewhere? for us to see. for her? After all, that's what she is now. __________________________________________________ | |

bprevidi ::: Favorites 2007-06-24 12:39:47 That's a heavy piece, Grace, maybe too heavy for me at this moment. Hard to be objective and critical for me right now. I recently went through a similar experience and I did not have had my wits about me enough to create more than a tear-stained Pollock knock-off on a Kleenex, so I applaud you for your stamina, composure and self-awareness. __________________________________________________ | |
